Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the shares sold in 2005 belonged to business assets or private assets
Extrahierter Entscheid
The shares belonged to the business assets of the deceased's real-estate trading activity and did not become private assets by inheritance or passage of time.
Extrahierte Begründung
There was a close economic relationship and the shares were used, according to the deceased's intent, to improve the result of his business. Inheritance does not change the asset classification, and mere lapse of time or tax authorities' earlier acceptance does not convert business assets into private assets.
