Traceability of the calculationexceeded
The estimate must be made so generously that there is no risk of the amounts being estimated lower than they actually are.
CitationLög um tekjuskatt nr. 90/2003, 95. gr.
What we provideEvery figure is traceable down to the individual document. The chain of calculation can be walked in both directions — from the result to the document and back.
Completeness of the data basisexceeded
Estimation applies where the return, individual items or attachments are incomplete, unclear or open to suspicion, are not recorded in the manner prescribed by law, or are insufficiently signed.
CitationLög nr. 90/2003, 96. gr.
What we provideA full census across all accounts, suppliers and product groups. No sampling is used; 100 per cent is the upper limit and cannot be exceeded by any method.
Requirements for counter-evidenceexceeded
The authority must request the taxpayer in writing to remedy the defect within a set period and to supply written explanations and documents, including the accounts. If sufficient explanations and documents arrive in time, the assessment follows the return.
CitationLög nr. 90/2003, 96. gr.
What we provideA closed system: purchasing, production, masses, unit counts, sales channel and revenue support one another. A single incorrect figure shows up against the others.

Burden of proof and its reversalmet
The power to estimate is triggered by incompleteness, lack of clarity or suspicion.
CitationLög nr. 90/2003, 96. gr.
What we provideThe evidence is prepared so that the reversal of the burden remains traceable and the counter-evidence engages with the calculation, not with the objection.
