In this case, all records and documents related to income and income-related expenses must be kept for 6 years from the following calendar year.<\/p>\n<h2>To be noted,<\/h2>\n<p>that <strong>investment income<\/strong> (e.g. interest,dividends, capital gains on shares) is not included in the determination of the income limit for the retention requirement if it has been subject to the final withholding tax procedure (see Section 32d (1) EStG). If, on the other hand, the favorable tax assessment is applied for the capital income (e.g. to take losses into account for tax purposes), the (remaining) capital income increases the relevant value.<\/p>\n<h2>This regulation has now been confirmed by the Federal Fiscal Court.<\/h2>\n<p>In the case in question, a recipient with high income applied for a favorable tax treatment test for his investment income. The court included investment income in the threshold, which meant that it was exceeded and the conditions for the retention requirement were met. This meant that the tax office had to issue an external audit and\/or provide all the necessary documentation.<br \/>\ncould request.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>If documents that must be kept are not available, the tax office can estimate the basis of taxation (see \u00a7 162 AO).<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>(Further comments &amp; information on this can be found in our information letter 05\/2018 under the item 2.)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_grid cols_1 laptops-cols_inherit tablets-cols_inherit mobiles-cols_1 valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\">[vc_masonry_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1526456969570-32a1cd03-d6c1-10&#8243; include=&#8221;5553,5552,5551,5550,5549,5548&#8243;][bsf-info-box icon=&#8221;Defaults-exclamation-circle&#8221; icon_size=&#8221;32&#8243; pos=&#8221;left&#8221;]\n<h2 class=\"widget-title\"><strong>A) Newsletter bestellen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Immer gut informiert sein, verpassen Sie keine Neuigkeiten mehr!
