Kernrechtsfrage
Whether association A qualifies for tax exemption as a charitable organization under Art. 56 lit. g DBG and § 90 Abs. 1 lit. i StG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. A is a legal person pursuing exclusively public-benefit purposes, with irrevocably dedicated assets and actual implementation of its statutory purpose.
Extrahierte Begründung
The association promotes art and provides low-cost housing and practice space to needy artists and art students, without pursuing its own economic interests. The funds are tied to the statutory purpose, the purpose is actually implemented, and the open beneficiary circle and low rents show altruistic, non-profit activity.
