Question juridique clé
Whether the domicile or management privilege could begin in the 2005 tax year after the share transfer and relocation abroad.
Solution extraite
No. The privilege could only take effect from the first full tax period, here 1 January 2006.
Motifs extraits
The 2005 filings contained only one annual account covering the entire business year, including the previous Swiss activity. Since the privileged treatment requires separate accounts for the differently taxed areas and a tax year as the relevant period, the privilege could not be granted retroactively for a mixed year.
