Question juridique clé
Whether the taxpayer could be exempted from tax liability because of alleged insufficient nonsmoker protection and resulting damage.
Solution extraite
No. Personal illness or alleged state shortcomings in nonsmoker protection do not affect the taxpayer's unlimited liability under federal and cantonal tax law.
Motifs extraits
The appellant is domiciled in Lucerne and is therefore subject to unlimited tax liability in Switzerland and the canton by personal affiliation; any possible damages or social insurance claims must be pursued before the competent bodies.
