Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the cantonal decision on direct federal tax back tax and penalty was admissible and/or sufficiently reasoned
Extracted holding
Any defect in the appeal's form could be left open because the appeal was manifestly unfounded.
Extracted reasoning
The court treated the filing as an administrative judicial appeal; even without deciding whether the request met formal requirements, the case was clearly unsuitable for further examination and could be decided summarily.
