Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the transfer qualifies for exemption under § 4(1)(i) aHStG/BS as a split of pension foundations within the same company group.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The investment foundation is not a personal pension foundation, and the transaction did not fall within the narrow statutory exemption.
Extrahierte Begründung
The cantonal court's interpretation was not arbitrary; the wording and purpose of the exemption cover only reorganizations involving personal pension foundations of the same company or group.
