Title

If funds of a person recognized as a donor are deposited into a bank account in the name of the taxpayer, such deposits are presumed to have been donated to the taxpayer.

Summary

It is argued that the amount of money deposited into the account in the name of the principal was not received as a donation since the amount was used in full, but it is presumed that the donation was received if it is impossible to completely exclude the possibility that the person was used due to lack of evidentiary materials for the use.
