Resumo Omnilex

The AFC attempted to tax one and the same real-estate sale at two different amounts, CHF 400,000 for registration duties and CHF 600,000 for succession duties. The court held that, absent any other connected transaction, the authority could not rely on two separate taxable bases for the same operation. The tax assessment was therefore modified.

Sumário Omnilex

LDS. 10; valuation of a single real-estate transaction for tax purposes: the same sale cannot, absent a separate connected transaction, be split into different taxable bases for different duties. The taxable operation must be assessed consistently as one transaction; an authority may not attribute divergent values to the same legal act merely by reference to distinct duty categories (consid. not stated).
