Question juridique clé
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could hear a direct intercantonal double-taxation complaint without exhaustion of cantonal remedies
Solution extraite
Yes, the complaint was admissible under the special rules for double-taxation cases; however, the request for refund with default interest was inadmissible.
Motifs extraits
For double-taxation complaints, cantonal remedies need not be exhausted. The fiscal harmonization act did not displace the constitutional complaint route here. Claims for interest on overpaid taxes depend on cantonal law and require exhaustion of cantonal remedies.
