- The inspector agreed to reduce the tax assessment by 26 euros due to accepted receipts and by 91 euros due to a calculation error, resulting in a total payable amount of 3810 euros.
- The court agreed with the inspector’s revised position, making the taxpayer’s appeal partially successful.
- The taxpayer complained about the tax assessment being issued before responding to proposed corrections and before a final discussion.
- The court interpreted this as a claim of violation of the EU principle of defense rights, which requires the taxpayer to be heard before a decision is made.
- The court found that any potential violation was justified due to the impending expiration of the assessment period, and the taxpayer was given three weeks to respond to corrections.
