Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the share sale price was below market value and created a hidden dividend taxable as income.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The valuation based on substance value was not arbitrary; a hidden dividend of CHF 138,417 was properly assumed.
Extrahierte Begründung
For a pure asset-management company, substance value is the relevant benchmark. The tax authorities accounted for latent taxes; the taxpayers' objections did not show arbitrariness.
