Question juridique clé
Whether the severance payment was a capital lump sum for recurring benefits under Art. 37 DBG / § 46 StG.
Solution extraite
No. The payment did not replace a clearly defined recurring entitlement or lost wage stream, but served as general assistance for economic difficulties after termination.
Motifs extraits
The amount was not tied to prior salary and was intended to cover various needs after dismissal, so it lacked the necessary link to recurring benefits.
