Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the tax-evasion penalties were correctly set at 50% of the unpaid tax or had to be reduced.
Decisione estratta
The taxpayer acted negligently and the circumstances justified reducing the penalty to the statutory minimum of one-third of the evaded tax.
Motivazione estratta
Although the concealment was completed tax evasion, the Court found only slight fault, considering her illness, unemployment, and limited financial means; the lower court gave too little weight to these factors.
