Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Swiss branch had to be taxed on a quota-based allocation of the overall company results or, exceptionally, by the objective method.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Because reliable figures for the overall enterprise result were not available, the tax authorities could lawfully determine the Swiss branch profit by the objective method.
Extrahierte Begründung
The general rule is quota-based allocation, but the objective method is permitted where the taxpayer does not provide reliable evidence of the total enterprise result needed for quota allocation.
