Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the municipal special care fee lacked a sufficient formal legal basis under the legality principle in tax matters.
Decisione estratta
The fee had a sufficient statutory basis in cantonal law, and the fee schedule could validly specify the amount as a user fee linked to special services and the value of the benefit received.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that the cantonal provisions defined the circle of liable persons and the subject matter of the fee, while § 8 FHG/ZH and the nature of a user fee, constrained by equivalence and cost-recovery principles, allowed the detailed amount to be set by ordinance.
