Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal minimum tax for the cooperative violated equality and the notion of social housing exemption.
Decisão extraída
No. The exemption for cooperatives engaged in social housing is a justified distinction, and the cooperative did not show that it met the statutory conditions for that exemption.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that 'social housing' requires more than merely offering inexpensive dwellings; the decisive factor is entitlement to federal housing subsidies. The cooperative neither showed that it was subject to the housing promotion regime nor that its tenants met the required subsidy conditions.
