Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the security order under Art. 169 DBG should be annulled.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was unfounded; the security order was justified because the taxpayers had not paid taxes for years and the tax payment appeared endangered.
Extrahierte Begründung
For security under Art. 169 DBG, no special misconduct is required; it is enough that the danger to collection appears plausible on the objective circumstances. The appellants did not substantiate their claim that no taxes were owed and effectively refused payment, so the administration's assessment was not called into doubt.
