Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the tax security demand under Art. 169 LIFD was admissible before the underlying tax assessment became final.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Securities may be required before the tax is fixed by a final decision if the tax claim appears plausible.
Extrahierte Begründung
The statute expressly allows security before final assessment; the court reviews only prima facie whether the tax claim and amount are credible.
