Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal tax commission violated the taxpayer's right to be heard by failing to address his arguments.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The decision gave only a brief reference to the tax office's view and did not engage with the taxpayer's reasoning or the cited precedent.
Extrahierte Begründung
A decision must briefly state the considerations it relied on so the party and review court can understand and challenge it; oral explanations cannot usually replace the written duty to give reasons.
