Questão jurídica principal
Whether the patrimonial transfer qualified for transfer-tax exemption under Art. 103 FusG in relation to Art. 24 para. 3 LHID.
Decisão extraída
Yes, for transfer tax purposes only the concept of restructuring matters; the additional direct-tax conditions of Art. 24 para. 3 LHID, especially continued Swiss tax liability, do not apply.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 103 FusG is a direct federal rule for transfer tax and must be interpreted autonomously. The cantonal court wrongly relied on the foundation’s tax-exempt status and on continued subjection to tax in Switzerland.
