Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the tax claims for the earlier periods were time-barred
Extrahierter Entscheid
The tax claims were not time-barred under either the former federal direct tax rules or the transitional application of the new rules.
Extrahierte Begründung
Interrupting acts kept the relative limitation period from expiring, and the court applied the absolute limitation concept of the new law by analogy so that no expiry had occurred.
