Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the federal administrative appeal was admissible against the cantonal review decision in direct federal tax matters.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible; the cantonal tax administration was entitled to appeal.
Extrahierte Begründung
The challenged decision was a final, federal-law-based ruling on direct federal tax, and the transitional cantonal two-instance requirement did not yet apply ratione temporis.
