Key legal question
Whether the objection decision was null because it was labelled 'Verfügung' instead of 'Entscheid'.
Extracted holding
No. The misdesignation did not amount to a serious defect; the taxpayer understood it concerned the objection decision under the Direct Federal Tax Act.
Extracted reasoning
The terms 'Verfügung' and 'Entscheid' are often used synonymously, and the appellant herself treated the act as an objection decision under Art. 135 DBG.
