Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the cantonal appeal to the Tax Appeals Court was time-barred under federal direct tax law
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal period was 30 days and was not extended by cantonal court-holiday rules; the filing was late.
Extrahierte Begründung
The federal rules on appeal deadlines in direct federal tax are exhaustive; cantonal suspension rules do not apply. For 1991 direct federal tax, the appeal to the cantonal administrative court was not available under the transitional regime.
