Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the cantonal tax remission decision was filed within the federal time limit
Extracted holding
The appeal was filed far too late and no grounds for restoration of time were shown, so the Federal Supreme Court would not enter into the case.
Extracted reasoning
The appeal period under Art. 100 BGG is 30 days from notification. The challenged decision was sent on the same day it was issued, and the appellant waited about six months. He offered no explanation and invoked no grounds under Art. 50 BGG.
