Questão jurídica principal
Whether the CHF 15,000 repaid to the buyer of the inherited condominium reduces the taxable market value of the inherited property.
Decisão extraída
No. The repayment was a voluntary settlement and, given the very low likelihood of any actual cost burden from the suspected contaminated-site entry, it did not affect the property's market value.
Fundamentação extraída
The apartment building itself was not listed; only an access parcel was. Any investigation or remediation exposure for the buyer was remote and minor, so the later repayment could not retroactively lower the market value at the time of inheritance.
