What is the meaning of Burden of proof?

Burden of proof is the legal requirement to provide enough evidence to win a lawsuit. In civil cases, such as tax court, the burden is decided by the preponderance - the most - evidence. Except in cases of tax fraud, the burden of proof in a tax case generally is on the taxpayer.
