Question juridique clé
Whether the waived bank debt was taxable income and whether the claimed commercial loss was deductible
Solution extraite
The debt waiver was taxable income, but the claimed loss was not deductible because it had not been properly booked and proven.
Motifs extraits
For self-employed taxpayers, commercial losses are deductible only if they are effective and recorded in the accounts. The taxpayer’s declaration and sparse documents did not show the loss; the later table had no evidentiary value.
