Kernrechtsfrage
Where was the taxpayer's principal tax domicile for 2002: Lucerne or Nidwalden?
Extrahierter Entscheid
The taxpayer's centre of life remained in C. in the Canton of Lucerne at the relevant end-of-2002 date; no transfer of tax domicile to Nidwalden was proven.
Extrahierte Begründung
For an employed commuter, the tax domicile follows the place of lasting personal-life ties. The taxpayer still held and regularly used his Lucerne apartment, had his mother and partner/child nearby, and his links to Nidwalden were insufficient to show a moved centre of life.
