Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Verwaltungsgerichtsbeschwerde was the correct remedy for cantonal tax on extraordinary income under transitional harmonization rules.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Because the case concerned extraordinary income under the cantonal transitional regime governed by harmonized law, Verwaltungsgerichtsbeschwerde was admissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 73 StHG applies; cantonal law had to be harmonized already from 1999 under Art. 69 StHG, so the federal administrative appeal route was open even for cantonal taxes.
