Question juridique clé
Whether the assessment place for the company's 1995 federal direct tax was Zurich or Graubünden
Solution extraite
For a Swiss legal entity, the assessment place is generally at its registered seat; here the seat in Graubünden was not a mere letterbox, so Graubünden was competent.
Motifs extraits
Art. 105 DBG does not create an additional autonomous place of assessment based on the place of actual management for domestic companies; only if the registered seat is purely formal and a letterbox does the place of actual management become relevant.
