Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal could also concern direct federal tax although the assessment only covered cantonal and communal taxes
Extrahierter Entscheid
No; the prior assessment limited the dispute to cantonal and communal taxes, so the proceedings could not be expanded to direct federal tax.
Extrahierte Begründung
The challenged assessment defined the object of appeal and thus the dispute; there had been no assessment for direct federal tax yet.
