Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the old Schwyz property valuation method based on outdated assessments remained lawful under the Tax Harmonization Act and cantonal law.
Decisione estratta
No. The old assessments, based on an outdated valuation method and general deduction, no longer complied with the harmonized federal and cantonal rules requiring valuation at market value.
Motivazione estratta
The Tax Harmonization Act requires wealth to be assessed at market value, with only an appropriate consideration of income value. A system that keeps outdated valuations for years and applies a general ten percent deduction contradicts that framework.
