Question juridique clé
Whether the mistaken tax-year designation in the assessment was a correctable clerical error under Art. 52 StHG.
Solution extraite
The point could remain open; even if the correction was not permissible, the taxpayer had failed to challenge the replacement assessment, which became final and rendered the earlier assessment obsolete.
Motifs extraits
The court distinguished clerical errors from substantive assessment errors, but held that the later assessment and accompanying letter clearly showed the authority's intent to replace the earlier assessment. Because the taxpayer did not appeal the replacement assessment and it was not void, it became final.
