Questão jurídica principal
Whether the CHF 600,000 departure indemnity qualifies for the privileged rate for capital payments replacing periodic benefits under Geneva tax law.
Decisão extraída
No; the payment was a discretionary departure bonus and did not replace periodic benefits, so the ordinary rate applied.
Fundamentação extraída
The cantonal interpretation of Art. 17 LIPP-V was defensible and aligned with Art. 11(2) LHID and Art. 37 LIFD; the payment was not shown to substitute for periodic benefits.
