Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the tax authority had standing to appeal the child deductions under federal procedural law.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Standing existed because the dispute concerned a matter harmonized by the Tax Harmonization Act and the cantonal tax authority is the competent cantonal authority.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 73 StHG gives the competent cantonal authority a right of appeal in harmonized tax matters; the child deduction is a social deduction within the second title of the StHG.
