Question juridique clé
Whether Zurich may tax the cooperative's share capital, including the portion corresponding to out-of-canton members, at the seat without violating the ban on double taxation.
Solution extraite
Yes. The share capital is the cooperative's own taxable business capital at its seat; the members' shares are not debts owed to them but participation quotas in the cooperative assets.
Motifs extraits
Like share capital of a corporation, the cooperative's share capital is not a passivum but own capital of the legal entity. Taxing it at the seat does not create prohibited double taxation, even if some members are domiciled in other cantons.
