Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the full pension capital benefit, including the amount transferred to the spouse's pension account, was taxable in the year of payout.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The entire vested benefit became due and was therefore taxable, including the portion transferred to the spouse's pension account.
Extrahierte Begründung
When the employment ended and self-employment began, the whole vested benefit fell due. The transfer to the spouse did not change that the benefit was paid out to the taxpayer and thus formed part of the taxable capital benefit.
