Question juridique clé
Whether deferred taxation under Art. 12(3)(e) LHID requires identity between the seller and the acquirer of the replacement dwelling based on land-register ownership
Solution extraite
Yes. A canton may rely on land-register ownership and limit deferral to the seller's registered share in the replacement property.
Motifs extraits
Art. 3(3) LHID separates capital gains taxation of spouses. Art. 12(3)(e) LHID does not require an economic-ownership approach, and the federal law leaves room for a canton to use the civil-law/registration criterion.
