Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the CHF 4,400 management fee paid to Y. AG constituted a hidden profit distribution.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The amount exceeded arm’s-length compensation for the related-party property management service and was not sufficiently substantiated.
Motivazione estratta
For related parties, the arm’s-length principle applies. The taxpayer proved neither a market-conforming basis nor supporting records; the fee was excessive compared with usual rates and thus lacked adequate consideration.
