Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the CHF 1,400 payment to Church X was deductible as a voluntary charitable donation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Donations to an organization tax-exempt only for worship purposes are not deductible, even if the payment was designated for charitable use.
Extrahierte Begründung
Deductibility requires that the recipient be tax-exempt for public or charitable purposes in its seat canton. Church X was listed in Zurich only for worship purposes, and the Solothurn authority was bound by that status; the donor's own confirmation of charitable use was insufficient.
