Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the administrative judicial complaint was admissible for tax year 1999 despite the StHG transitional period.
Decisione estratta
The administrative judicial complaint was not admissible for a 1999 tax period because the Federal Act on the Harmonization of Direct Taxes did not yet apply to earlier periods.
Motivazione estratta
After the eight-year adaptation period, direct application of harmonized federal law applies only to tax periods after 1 January 2001; earlier periods remain governed by prior cantonal law, so federal administrative judicial review is unavailable.
