Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the eigenmietwert for state tax 1995 may be set below the market rent of the self-occupied house.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The single appraisal value of CHF 28,612 did not exceed the alleged market rent and complied with § 28(1) StG.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the law requires assessment according to dwelling value, taking local rental conditions into account, but does not confer a right to a valuation clearly below market rent. Constitutional equality limits excessively low values, and the taxpayer's asserted market rent did not show overtaxation.
