Kernrechtsfrage
Whether unpaid credited gains from the forex scheme were taxable income.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Only credited gains that were actually realizable were taxable; unpaid and uncertain credits were not realized income.
Extrahierte Begründung
Because the konkursmass had a plausible claw-back claim under Art. 288 SchKG and the credits would likely have been challenged, the unpaid credits were not sufficiently certain to count as realized income.
