Question juridique clé
Whether the brandschutzabgabe included in building insurance premiums is subject to stamp duty for 2010.
Solution extraite
No; the brandschutzabgabe is sufficiently separated from the insurance premium and is not a premium payment for stamp-duty purposes.
Motifs extraits
The cantonally mandated fire-prevention charge finances state fire protection tasks, is separately identifiable, and is not part of the taxable bar premium under Art. 24 StG.
