Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the transfer of the parcels in the course of the restructuring was exempt from transfer tax under FusG and StHG.
Decisione estratta
The transfer fell within the statutory tax-neutral restructuring rules; transfer tax was not due.
Motivazione estratta
The parcels had been reclassified as business assets on the tax authorities' instruction before the restructuring. That sequence was not unusual or abusive and could not be treated as a tax-avoidance setup.
