Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the federal tax appeal was filed in time
Decisione estratta
The appeal was late because the cantonal judgment was deemed served no later than the expiry of the Swiss pickup period, or at the latest upon publication; the filing in Zagreb on 11 March 2009 was therefore out of time.
Motivazione estratta
Service was complete on 16 January 2009, which started the appeal period; alternatively, publication in the cantonal gazette would have started it by 30 January 2009. The fax transmission on 17 February 2009 did not start a new deadline.
