Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the appellant is solidarily liable as liquidator for the company’s withholding tax debts
Decisione estratta
Yes. As sole director and person in charge of the factual liquidation, he falls within Art. 15(1)(a) VStG and is liable for tax claims arising or being asserted during his administration.
Motivazione estratta
A factual liquidation exists once the company ceases business and its assets are realized or distributed. Liability under Art. 15 VStG applies also to factual liquidations, not only formal windings-up.
