Question juridique clé
Whether Verwaltungsgerichtsbeschwerde was the correct remedy for cantonal tax on extraordinary income under transitional harmonization rules.
Solution extraite
Yes. Because the case concerned extraordinary income under the cantonal transitional regime governed by harmonized law, Verwaltungsgerichtsbeschwerde was admissible.
Motifs extraits
Art. 73 StHG applies; cantonal law had to be harmonized already from 1999 under Art. 69 StHG, so the federal administrative appeal route was open even for cantonal taxes.
