Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the company could still challenge the business tax for 1876-1878 after having acknowledged the tax duty before the cantonal authorities.
Decisione estratta
No. Because the company had expressly acknowledged the tax obligation and only disputed the amount before the cantonal authorities, it could no longer contest the tax duty for those years before the federal court.
Motivazione estratta
The record showed an express acknowledgement of liability at the cantonal level; only the assessment amount had been disputed.
