Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal appeal to the administrative court against the direct federal tax decision was timely despite the cantonal holiday standstill.
Solution extraite
The appeal period for direct federal tax is governed exclusively by federal law; the cantonal standstill provision did not apply.
Motifs extraits
DBG contains a complete rule on the appeal deadline; cantonal standstill rules concern only cantonal taxes and cannot extend the federal deadline.
