Key legal question
Whether the appeal against the original tax reassessment and the cantonal tax part of the decision was admissible
Extracted holding
The appeal was inadmissible insofar as it targeted the original reassessment and the cantonal tax portion, because the prior cantonal appeal had devolutive effect and the cantonal tax issue was not within the Federal Supreme Court's review in this form.
Extracted reasoning
Only the last cantonal-instance decision on the federal direct tax could be challenged before the Federal Supreme Court.
