Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal appeal was sufficiently reasoned under Art. 42 BGG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The submission did not engage in a targeted way with the decisive reasons of the cantonal judgment and contained no substantive argumentation.
Extrahierte Begründung
The Federal Supreme Court held that the appeal must specifically address the reasoning of the challenged decision. The brief failed to respond to the cantonal court's analysis of the claimed status as a self-employed real estate dealer and of the distinction between deductible maintenance costs and value-enhancing expenses.
