Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appeal regarding tax period 2001-2002 was admissible despite not being decided by the last cantonal instance
Decisão extraída
The appeal for 2001-2002 was inadmissible because the challenged decision was not issued by the final cantonal instance required for direct federal tax appeals.
Fundamentação extraída
For direct federal tax, the same cantonal remedies must exist as for cantonal taxes. In Valais, a further appeal to the cantonal court was available, so the commission's decision was not a last-instance cantonal judgment.
