Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the maturity proceeds of the pre-1994 single-premium life policies are exempt from direct federal tax under Art. 205a DBG
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The exemption applies only to self-provision; insurance on the life of third persons does not qualify.
Extrahierte Begründung
Art. 205a DBG must be interpreted in light of Art. 111(4) BV. Self-provision means provision for one's own person, so insured person and policyholder must be identical; a policy on another person's life is outside the tax privilege.
