Tax Ordinance changes: benefit of the doubt for taxpayers in disputed cases

The new act introduces a rule that in tax proceedings initiated by the office itself, doubts about facts are resolved in favor of the taxpayer. However, this rule does not apply in all situations.
Key points
Benefit of the doubt for taxpayers: if the tax office initiates proceedings itself and is uncertain about facts, it decides in the citizen's favor.
Three exceptions to the rule: when parties with conflicting interests are involved, when the law requires you to prove facts, or when important public interest prevents it.
Retroactive effect: the change also covers tax proceedings initiated before the act enters into force that have not yet ended.
