Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 30 May 2012 pre-contract triggered Solothurn transfer tax
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The pre-contract validly created the taxable transfer of economic control over the property.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Solothurn law, transfer tax may arise already upon a pre-contract if it contains all essential terms and is legally enforceable; the court held the contract was validly concluded.
