Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal court could apply Art. 12(2)(b) StHG directly to the transfer from private to business assets in a mixed monistic system.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Because the canton's special rule for commercial property dealers created a gap, Art. 12(2)(b) StHG applied directly after the harmonization deadline.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Bernese system was monistic in principle, but the special taxation of property dealers was a mixed form requiring system-consistent treatment of each part of the gain. The cantonal law lacked a rule on the private-to-business transfer; therefore federal harmonized law filled the gap.
