Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the Federal Administrative Court's judgment was admissible insofar as it sought to annul the ESTV objection decision directly.
Extracted holding
The direct challenge to the ESTV objection decision was inadmissible because that decision had been replaced by the Federal Administrative Court judgment.
Extracted reasoning
Under the devolutive effect, the lower administrative decision is subsumed into the appealed judgment and can no longer be attacked separately.
