Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the municipal waste base fee for 2014 could be upheld without clarifying whether the company actually carried on business activity at its Däniken domicile.
Decisione estratta
No. The relevant facts were not sufficiently established; the matter had to be remitted for an on-site inspection and further evidence-taking.
Motivazione estratta
A municipality may bill domiciled businesses, but where the addressee plausibly asserts it is only a shell company and offers evidence that is difficult to produce otherwise, the authorities must investigate whether real business activity exists at the domicile.
