Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the appeal against various cantonal tax assessments was admissible before the Federal Supreme Court under the BGG transition rules
Extrahierter Entscheid
The filing had to be treated as an appeal in public law matters, but it was inadmissible because no final cantonal court decision was available.
Extrahierte Begründung
For inter-cantonal double taxation, the BGG applies because the appealed act was the post-2007 St. Gallen objection decision. However, Art. 86 BGG requires a last cantonal judicial decision; tax assessments and objection decisions alone are insufficient.
