The Supreme Administrative Court unanimously declared the contested circular provision illegal, ruling that the indirect presumptive method for allocating financial burdens violates specific LGT articles. The appellant argued this method disregarded statutory requirements for direct burden attribution, while the tax authority maintained its validity. The court held that the circular's approach contravenes the explicit legal framework governing financial charges.
