Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Federal Direct Tax on capital gain could be charged as an estate debt in the sale distribution.
Decisão extraída
The surveillance authority could not decide the substantive tax qualification; the appellant must bring an action against the estate before the competent authority once the final tax statement is notified.
Fundamentação extraída
Disputes over the existence and legal nature of the tax claim belong to the authority competent on the merits, here the tax authority, not to the debt-enforcement surveillance authorities.
