The choice can affect the possibility for a parent Company to perform a group contribution with deduction right.The parent Company has to own more than 90 percent of the subsidiary?s shares for a whole taxation year or since the subsidiary began to carry out any economic activity in order to perform group contributions with deduction right.

This thesis discusses taxation of benefits, which shareholders and Company leaders can enjoy from close corporations. The Government said in the government bill lead- ing to the amendments regarding taxation of benefits, that it should be the possibility alone to enjoy benefits that should be the reason to impose taxes on Company lead- ers. The Swedish tax agency (Skatteverket) has agreed to that statement. In other words, it isn?t necessary that someone actually enjoys the Company?s assets for pri- vate use, it is enough that they have the right of disposal of them in order to be taxed.
