The Verwaltungsgericht addressed a wealth tax dispute brought by the heirs of R.W. against a tax appeal decision. It held that, in inter-cantonal matters, each canton assesses total taxable wealth according to its own tax law. It also treated the withholding tax refund claim as a taxable asset and discussed the maturity of that claim. Finally, it dealt with the valuation of securities lacking a market quotation. The available excerpt does not disclose the final dispositive result.
Wealth tax; inter-cantonal allocation and valuation of assets. In inter-cantonal relations, each canton assesses the taxpayer's total taxable wealth and income under its own tax law; this rule governs the valuation of all asset classes (consid. 3). A withholding tax refund claim constitutes taxable wealth and is to be valued according to the maturity of the refund claim (consid. 4). Securities without a quoted market price are to be valued by substitute methods consistent with tax law (consid. 5).

How is total taxable wealth to be determined for inter-cantonal wealth tax purposes?
Each canton determines the taxpayer's total taxable wealth, and total income, under its own tax law; this applies to the valuation of all asset components.
The court held that the inter-cantonal allocation does not alter the cantonal power to assess the total tax base according to its own rules.
Whether the withholding tax refund credit is a taxable asset and when it is due.
The withholding tax refund claim is a taxable asset, and its maturity depends on the statutory due date of the refund claim.
A receivable already existing in law forms part of taxable wealth; its valuation follows the time at which the claim becomes payable.
How securities without a market price are to be valued for wealth tax.
Securities without a quoted market price must be valued according to the applicable valuation principles for non-listed assets.
Where no market quotation exists, tax valuation must rely on substitute valuation methods consistent with the tax law.
