Key legal question
Whether the tax reassessment for direct federal tax and cantonal/communal taxes was admissible and justified.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible only in part procedurally, but the reassessment was upheld because new facts justified recovery of tax.
Extracted reasoning
The company had not fully disclosed the patent project and related revenues; the tax authority was not required to investigate further on the basis of the declarations and accounting entries available at the time.
