Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the company had its actual management in Switzerland and was therefore subject to unlimited tax liability for 2002-2008.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The court held that the decisive management of the company's ongoing business was in Switzerland, not Guernsey, so unlimited Swiss tax liability existed.
Extrahierte Begründung
The company was a mere financing vehicle; the relevant lending decisions were taken under the control of the Swiss holding company. The Guernsey presence showed only administrative activity, not actual management.
