Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the sale gain on an operating property of an intercantonal real-estate trader/general contractor must be allocated entirely to the situs canton or shared by quota.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The value-appreciation component of the gain belongs exclusively to the situs canton; only the book-gain part remains subject to quota allocation.
Extrahierte Begründung
For operating real estate of intercantonal enterprises, the situs canton has exclusive taxing power over the appreciation gain. The special rule for real-estate traders/general contractors does not extend to shifting this appreciation gain into the business-profit quota merely because the property is part of a Betriebsstätte.
