Key legal question
Whether X.________ LLC was subject to withholding tax as a foreign company actually managed in Switzerland
Extracted holding
Yes. On a prima facie basis, the company was actually managed in Switzerland and conducted business there, so it qualified as an inlander under Art. 9 VStG.
Extracted reasoning
The company had an artificial foreign seat, all relevant documents were signed in Switzerland, and the transactions and business activity were mainly carried out from Switzerland.
