Questão jurídica principal
Whether the sale of apartment no. 61 to the shareholder's daughter constituted a hidden profit distribution under direct federal tax law.
Decisão extraída
The case had to be re-examined because the cantonal court did not make all necessary comparable-property assessments; the hidden distribution finding could not yet be upheld.
Fundamentação extraída
A hidden profit distribution requires an obvious disparity between consideration and market value and recognizability for corporate organs. The appellate court failed to compare apartment no. 61 with all relevant south-facing apartments, especially no. 48, so the existence of a manifest disproportion and recognizability was not sufficiently established.
