Omnilex summary

The taxpayers appealed a 1991/92 federal direct tax assessment to the Ticino Tax Chamber. Before the appeal was decided, the cantonal tax office informed the court that it had annulled the assessment. The court held that the appeal had therefore become moot and ordered the case struck from the rolls. It also decided, under the applicable cost rule, not to charge court costs or a justice fee.

Omnilex headnote

Art. 77 DIFD; mootness of tax appeal after annulment of the contested assessment; when the tax authority withdraws or annuls the challenged taxation, the pending appeal loses its object and is struck off the roll. In such a situation, the court may discontinue the proceedings without deciding the merits. Costs are governed separately under Art. 111 DIFD and may be waived where the case becomes devoid of object.
