Question juridique clé
Whether the company had a construction-site permanent establishment in Solothurn for 2013
Solution extraite
No. The multi-family housing projects were not large projects under Federal Court case law, so they did not create a permanent establishment.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 21 StHG and the relevant double-taxation case law, a permanent establishment requires permanent physical facilities and a qualitatively and quantitatively significant activity. The Solothurn projects were not sufficiently large or long-lasting.
