De rechtbank stelt voorop dat het beroep op artikel 6 EVRM met betrekking tot de aanslagen belanghebbende niet kan baten reeds omdat artikel 6 EVRM niet van toepassing is op geschillen over belastingaanslagen (zie EHRM 12 juli 2001, nr. 44759/98, Ferrazzini tegen Italië, BNB 2005/222 en HR 13 november 2015, ECLI:NL:HR:2015:3270). Bovendien, los daarvan, en sowieso van belang met betrekking tot de verzuimboeten, verdient opmerking dat artikel 6 EVRM zich niet verzet tegen toepassing van rechtsmiddeltermijnen. Het andersluidende betoog van belanghebbende wordt verworpen. Gewezen zij bijvoorbeeld op EHRM 31 mei 2016, nr. 37242/14, waarin onder meer is overwogen: “30. The Court reiterates at the outset that the ‘right to a court’, of which the right of access is one aspect, is not absolute; it is subject to limitations permitted by implication, in particular where the conditions of admissibility of an appeal are concerned, since by its very nature it calls for regulation by the State, which enjoys a certain margin of appreciation in this regard. However, these limitations must not restrict or reduce a person’s access in such a way or to such an extent that the very essence of the right is impaired; further, such limitations will not be compatible with Article 6 § 1 if they do not pursue a legitimate aim or if there is not a reasonable relationship of proportionality between the means employed and the aim sought to be achieved (see Brualla Gómez de la Torre v. Spain, 19 December 1997, § 33, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1997-VIII).
31. Furthermore, the rules on time-limits for appeals are undoubtedly designed to ensure the proper administration of justice and compliance with, in particular, the principle of legal certainty. Those concerned must expect those rules to be applied. However, the rules in question, or the application of them, should not prevent litigants from making use of an available remedy (see Pérez de Rada Cavanilles v. Spain, 28 October 1998, § 45, Reports 1998-VIII).
(…)
35. The Court is of the view that a party should bear the consequences of an appeal that arrives after the time-limit, where the errors are attributable to that party (see Pérez de Rada Cavanilles v. Spain, cited above, § 47, and Platakou v. Greece, no. 38460/97, § 39, ECHR 2001-I; contrast Rodriguez Valin v. Spain, no. 47792/99, § 28, 11 October 2001).”
