Key legal question
Whether the federal appeal against the cantonal remand judgment was admissible and the valuation office had standing.
Extracted holding
The appeal was admissible, and the valuation office was entitled to appeal as the competent authority under federal and cantonal harmonized tax law.
Extracted reasoning
The remand decision caused an irreparable disadvantage for the authority because it imposed substantive instructions for a new valuation; the office qualified as the competent authority under Art. 73(2) StHG and thus could appeal under Art. 89(2)(d) BGG.
