Authorities adjust view on VAT deduction by holding companies

  • Sections 4.2.4 and example 2 regarding venture capital companies in the statement “Holding Companies”
  • Deductibility of Value Added Tax” will no longer be applied.
  • The statement was created to clarify the Swedish Tax Agency’s view on deductions for input tax related to venture capital companies.
  • It states that venture capital companies engage in mixed activities when they have transactions consisting of exempt sales of shares and provide taxable services to subsidiary companies.
  • However, the Administrative Court in Stockholm has ruled that the investment activities of venture capital companies are non-economic activities.
  • The Swedish Tax Agency will develop its view in a new statement.
