- The Swedish Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) has limited the application of VAT-neutral transfers of a going concern (TOGC) to cases where the recipient can deduct input VAT.
- The SAC ruled that TOGC provisions do not apply if the recipient’s activities are VAT-exempt and they cannot deduct input VAT.
- The Swedish Tax Agency (STA) updated its guidance to reflect that TOGC is only VAT-neutral if VAT would be chargeable and the recipient can deduct input VAT.
- These changes restrict VAT-neutral restructurings and business transfers, especially for companies with VAT-exempt or mixed activities.
