Advice Tax
We’re there for you, 24/7
Our business is based on our being available 24/7 to deliver what our clients need. We provide the advice we’d want to be given if the situation was reversed. Good communication is key for us – as is timely delivery. And if the client requests it, we’re happy to help implement the solutions we’ve proposed, too.
Keep it simple
We believe in simple, clear, and straightforward communication, not in unnecessary over-complication. If you ask Advice a question, you can count on a rapid response. We usually answer within the hour – and if the issue requires a bit more work, we’ll quickly let you know when you can expect your answer.
We’ll help you with the big picture
An entrepreneur’s problems are multifaceted and it can be difficult for them to work with the bigger picture. We often act as a sounding board on more complex issues and also have an extensive network of contacts in areas such as Corporate Finance, civil law, family law, and a variety of other specialist issues.
Tax advice
We understand that tax is one part of your life – but it’s not the most important part. We endeavour to be responsive and to take other factors in our clients’ lives into account – tax planning must be a natural fit with everything else.
We work with both short-term and more complex issues for private individuals and companies and our goal, at all times, is to help our clients focus on their own businesses and their own lives.
We like to start our partnerships with a meeting, in order to get to grips with the client’s situation and requirements. The meeting is also an opportunity to act as a sounding board in order to define the issues that need addressing.
Our goal is to be accessible, to communicate quickly and clearly, and to propose and implement measures that solve the problem. This is how we forge long-term relationships with our clients.
Restructuring
Restructuring could, for example, involve packaging assets ahead of the sale of a subsidiary company. But we can also help with enterprise transfers, the formation of Swedish or foreign parent companies, mergers and reverse mergers, winding up of companies, tax issues in connection with investments, setting up a local establishment overseas, taking advantage of salary details in the close company sector, share exchanges, and questions about permanent establishments.
We generally start our partnership with the client by reviewing existing structures, in order to predict tax risks and potential improvements.

Generational shifts
Advice acts as your advisor not only on ongoing economic, fiscal issues, but when it comes to decisions and actions with long-term consequences.
There are a number of issues to address in conjunction with generational shifts: when and how, for example, will the children be able to enjoy the parents’ assets? On what scale, and for what purpose may the heirs use the money?
Support, advice, and help with implementation
We have supported numerous families through generational shift discussions. These discussions can involve handing family-owned companies, for example, or other limited companies, or forestry and agricultural properties on to the younger generation. It’s not uncommon for fairness issues to be central to these discussions, either, such as how one or more siblings can be bought out fairly.
We have, for example, a partnership agreement with The Association of ICA Retailers where we help retailers implement their generational shifts, and where we undertake both to project manage the matter and to keep track of the tax-related issues.

International concerns
Determining an individual’s tax status under Swedish tax regulations and in relation to tax agreements is key when moving to or from Sweden. It may also be necessary, in some cases, to evaluate strong links to overseas residence to determine whether they have an effect on the individual’s tax situation.
We also investigate the ways in which Swedish and foreign remuneration packages, incentive programmes, and other transactions should be interpreted from a Swedish taxation perspective. We help companies with issues relating to permanent establishments and other tax issues of an international nature. And we are often engaged to work with a foreign advisor on optimising the tax situation for companies and private individuals operating in or with links to multiple countries.
The hard part of these cases is the risk of issues falling between the two stools of the foreign advisor and Advice, in our role as Swedish taxation monitors. Our goal is to focus on working hand in hand with the foreign advisor to reduce this risk.

Corporate concerns
No matter what type of company matter you need assistance with, Advice is your go-to partner. We respond quickly to your questions and will not let go of the matter until it is resolved.
We offer help with all types of company matters, such as mergers, demergers, share issues, bonus issues, share withdrawals, issuance of convertible bonds, issuance of warrants, name changes, fiscal year changes, amendments to articles of association, applications for extraordinary dividends, notifications of beneficial ownership, liquidations, deregistrations, and much more.
Shelf Companies
A shelf company is a ready-made limited company that you can purchase to avoid all the administration involved in setting up a new company. We currently work closely with Advise North for ordering shelf companies. Advise North, together with us, is part of Accru Partners, a network of independent firms specialising in accounting, auditing, advisory services, and tax.
Get in touch, and we will explain how the shelf company ordering process works.
