The Graubünden Administrative Court correctly set the taxable income of real estate entrepreneur Remo Stoffel for the 2005 tax period at 105 million Swiss francs. This has been decided by the Federal Supreme Court. On his 2005 tax return, Stoffel reported income and assets of CHF 0.
In a total of 114 pages, the Graubünden administrative court showed in a ruling in mid-December 2019 the confusing accounting tricks that were used to make payments that can be attributed to Stoffel. This stems from a federal court ruling published Monday.
98 million fortunes
The Federal Supreme Court supports the opinion of the cantonal court and also comes to a taxable income of 105 million francs. On the assets side alone, it partially approved Stoffel’s complaint, resulting in taxable assets of CHF 98 million.
The zero-sum tax optimization game organized by Stoffel and other individuals and companies is essentially related to the purchase of the Avireal AG shares owned by SAir Group by Ability AG.
The so-called compensation carried out by the Graubünden Tax Office is based on an investigation by the Department of Investigations and Criminal Affairs (ASU) of the Federal Tax Administration.
Unreported taxable income
In May 2010, the head of the Federal Department of Finance (FDF) ordered that a special tax investigation be carried out against Stoffel, another person and three corporations in which the two were indirectly involved through other corporations.
In the final report of May 2014, the ASU concluded that Stoffel had not reported a large amount of taxable income and assets between 2003 and 2008. (pbe / SDA)
