Whether income could be extrapolated from a list of purported employees found during a survey: the Tribunal held that additions must be confined to incriminating material seized during survey and cannot be extrapolated without independent corroboration; reliance on precedent rejecting extrapolation further supports this reasoning, therefore extrapolation across months was unsustainable and disallowed.
