Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the 2012 write-off on the Y AG shareholding was a non-deductible non-valeur.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The office did not prove that the purchase price was obviously excessive; the shareholding could be activated at CHF 50,000 and the write-off was business justified.
Extrahierte Begründung
At the purchase date, serious restructuring efforts were underway and an independent investor was prepared to inject substantial funds. The later bankruptcy did not prove that the shares had no value when acquired.
