PKG 2010 7 ΓÇó Definitive opening for tax interest, not for reminder fees
PKG 2010 7Übriges Gericht21.04.2010
The decision concerns definitive debt enforcement for cantonal taxes. The court confirms that a final tax assessment can also support definitive opening for accrued default interest. However, reminder and collection fees are not enforceable by definitive opening unless they have themselves been finally and validly fixed. The headnote expressly states that this confirms the earlier published case law from PKG 1999 No. 18.
Art. 80 Abs. 1 Ziff. 3 SchKG; definitive opening for tax claims and ancillary amounts: A final tax assessment constitutes a sufficient enforceable title not only for the principal tax debt, but also for default interest accruing thereon. By contrast, reminder and enforcement fees are not covered unless they have been fixed in a final, enforceable administrative decision. The decisive factor is the existence of a legally binding title for the specific amount claimed; absent such title, definitive opening must be refused (cf. confirmed case law).
