While the taxpayer failed to prove that specific loan agreements and debt acknowledgments were excluded from the profit and loss statement, the court found the inspector's conclusion regarding the deduction valid. Consequently, the contested tax assessment was annulled and reduced to a taxable income of 41,171 guilders, with the inspector ordered to refund the filing fee.
