Kernrechtsfrage
Whether first-time interest on a formerly interest-free loan arising during the assessment gap qualifies as extraordinary income subject to transitional annual taxation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. A first-time conversion of an interest-free loan into an interest-bearing loan during the assessment gap is an aperiodic event and therefore extraordinary income under the transitional rules.
Extrahierte Begründung
Ordinary loan interest is periodic, but the first-ever charging of interest lacks continuity and can be influenced by the taxpayer; the circumstances here showed a non-continuous, tax-motivated arrangement.
