Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the failure to hold the requested objection hearing violated the taxpayer's right to be heard under § 150 Abs. 2 StG.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. Because the taxpayer expressly requested an objection hearing and it was not held despite being promised, an incurable violation of the right to be heard occurred.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that the omission of the requested hearing constituted a hearing defect regardless of the merits; the hearing had to be conducted and the defect could not be cured in these proceedings.
