Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against the cantonal tax judgment was admissible and sufficiently reasoned
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible in principle, but only insofar as it challenged the operative judgment; requests aimed at the annulled lower-court decisions or at punishing responsible persons were inadmissible.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal appellate judgment replaced the earlier decisions. The appellants' reasoning, viewed leniently as lay submissions, was sufficient overall, but the Federal Supreme Court could not entertain claims outside the tax dispute.
