Chambers Review
Advokatfirman Vinge receives superb praise for its work on varied contentious and non-contentious tax mandates. The team has standout expertise in tax issues connected to private equity fund formation. It advises investment managers on appeals against Swedish Tax Agency (STA) decisions on carried interest or the taxability of call options. The firm's strong tax litigation capabilities are further demonstrated in sensitive cases in which the STA refuses to allow VAT deductions or seeks to impose significant penalties for transfer pricing. Vinge also assists with the tax structuring of M&A transactions and IPOs, and it advises on the design of tax-efficient management incentive plans.
Work Highlights
- Advokatfirman Vinge advised VEF on the tax due diligence and prospectus documentation of its IPO listing on Nasdaq Stockholm.
