Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the objection against the estimated assessment satisfied the statutory reasoning requirement under Art. 48(2) StHG / § 140(2) StG/ZH.
Decisione estratta
The objection was sufficiently reasoned because it clearly challenged the estimated profit and referred to the annual accounts as evidence; a full tax return was not a validity requirement.
Motivazione estratta
For objections against estimated assessments, the taxpayer must substantiate the facts and name evidence, but the filing of the previously omitted tax return is not a formal prerequisite. Whether the evidence is persuasive is a merits question, not a question of admissibility.
