Questão jurídica principal
Whether the 2012 write-off on the Y AG shareholding was a non-deductible non-valeur.
Decisão extraída
No. The office did not prove that the purchase price was obviously excessive; the shareholding could be activated at CHF 50,000 and the write-off was business justified.
Fundamentação extraída
At the purchase date, serious restructuring efforts were underway and an independent investor was prepared to inject substantial funds. The later bankruptcy did not prove that the shares had no value when acquired.
