Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the 1994 liquidation gain was taxable under the former federal tax law or left untaxed by the transition to the DBG.
Decisione estratta
A transitional, non-genuine gap existed in intertemporal law; the gap had to be filled by applying the old law, so the 1994 liquidation gain was taxable under Art. 43 BdBSt.
Motivazione estratta
The wording of Art. 43 BdBSt and Art. 47 DBG would otherwise leave 1993/1994 liquidation gains untaxed. The court held that this omission was a planwidrige unvollständigkeit and that the judge must close it. The prior authority correctly taxed the 1994 gain under the old law.
