Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter examines the principle of the legality of taxation in the context of the rule of law. It begins with an exploration of the legality of taxation in international and EU Law, providing a comparative overview and delving into the specific case of Sweden. The authors discuss how this principle is not explicitly stated as a fundamental right in the European Charter of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms but can be derived from its provisions. The Court of Justice of the European Union recognizes it as a general principle, necessitating that tax obligations and their substantive elements be defined by law.The article then focuses on the Swedish interpretation of the principle, tracing its evolution and current application. It highlights the nuances in the Swedish legal system, where the principle of legality in tax law is interpreted as a general rule that taxation must be lawful and in accordance with the principles of the rule of law. This includes a discussion of the role of the Swedish Parliament in enacting tax laws and the interpretative approaches of the Supreme Administrative Court.In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the principle of legality as an integral part of a larger legal system grounded in the rule of law. It addresses the challenges and complexities in applying this principle, especially when harmonizing national and EU law principles in tax cases.

Value Added Tax as a Legal Transplant
- 2021

Ingår i: Intertax. - : Wolters Kluwer. - 0165-2826 .- 1875-8347. ; 49:2, s. 186-197

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, Value Added Tax (VAT) is examined as a legal transplant. The legal transplants theory relies on the assumption that legal transplants are the primary driver behind legal change. In order to establish whether this is the case for VAT, the distribution of VAT across the world is examined. This spread, however, should be evaluated against the different legal VAT families that may be identified around the world in order to determine if the identity of the transplanted system remains. That said, VAT families vary over time, and there is no specified definition of different VAT families. The establishment of the relevance of studying VAT as a legal transplant may feasibly lead to a discussion on whether a legal transplant approach is appropriate for comparative research in VAT since such an approach entails a risk for too much emphasis on similarities. The fact that statutes appear to be similar does not necessarily mean that the law is the same due to various factors such as legal culture. However, with an awareness of the inadequacies of the legal transplants approach as a method for comparative studies, the approach may provide valuable insight into explaining the similarities and differences in VAT.

Passivitetsrätten vid skattetillägg
- 2019
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When a taxpayer fails to fulfill the obligation in Chapter 30 Section 1 and Chapter 31 Section 3 of the Swedish Tax Procedure Act, skatteförfarandelagen (2011:1244), the STPA, to submit information about his or her taxable income, he or she becomes liable to pay a tax surcharge. Decisions about tax surcharges can be made in both administrative and criminal proceedings. In fact, decisions on tax surcharges may be made due to a taxpayer’s passiveness during a criminal tax procedure, regardless of the intent. However, the European Court on Human Rights has established that a person’s silence is not, in itself, sufficient proof for a conviction. This causes a tension between the obligation to submit information about taxable income and the right to silence and the right against self-incrimination in the Swedish tax surcharge procedure.The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the relationship between the Swedish system of tax surcharge and the right to silence and the right against self-incrimination according to the ECHR, the EU Charter, Article 3 Section 1 (e) of Directive 2012/13/EU and Article 7 of Directive 2016/343/EU. The method used to analyze these problems and discuss solutions combines a legal dogmatic method with an autonomous interpretation of the right to silence and the right against self-incrimination. The analysis shows that problems occur after the point where a taxpayer has been charged with a criminal offence according to the autonomous meaning of the concept. This point in time corresponds to the point in time when action is taken by the Swedish Tax Agency that has a substantial impact on the taxpayer. The analysis also shows that if a tax surcharge is levied only because of a taxpayer’s silence, after that point, there has been a violation of the right to silence and the right against self-incrimination according to the autonomous meaning.The conclusion of the thesis is that there is a need for an amendment to the STPA, which reinforces the autonomous meaning of the right to silence and the right against self-incrimination in the Swedish tax surcharge procedure. This includes new rules in the STPA, which define 1) a duty for the Swedish Tax Agency to inform taxpayers about the right to silence and the right against selfincrimination, 2) the scope of the taxpayer’s obligation to submit information about taxable income in relation to the right to silence and the right against selfincrimination and 3) rules on exemption from tax surcharge when it violates the right to silence and the right against self-incrimination.

Funktionsförsäljning : en juridisk översikt och några råd för dig som överväger att börja sälja eller köpa funktion
- 2019
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna populärvetenskapliga guide till juridiken kring funktionsförsäljning (eller, om man så vill, as a service-försäljning) avser att ge dels en översiktlig bild av rättsläget för funktionsförsäljning, dels några goda råd, ur ett i första hand juridiskt perspektiv, för dig som överväger att börja sälja eller köpa funktion. Guiden är skriven med en tänkt målgrupp i sikte, nämligen i första hand företagsledningar som inte har någon egen större avdelning för redovisning och juridik. Vi tror och hoppas dock att den ska visa sig vara användbar för bredare grupper.Här kommer vi också att lägga upp, stegvis förnyade, länkar till vetenskapliga publikationer om juridiken kring funktionsförsäljning (flera är under publicering). Kanske finner du också, med tiden, nya upplagor av denna guide här. Läge för ett bokmärke alltså…Guiden har skrivits av en grupp forskare som under flera år har forskat på juridiken kring funktionsförsäljning. Forskningen har i första hand finansierats av Energimyndigheten (och i nära samarbete med forskningsorganisationen Mistra REES), men vi har också arbetat för näringslivet med dessa frågor.

Designing and Negotiating Agreements in a Digitalized Era – a qualitative analysis
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Digitalization is a reality that governs more and more both the society and the economy, facilitating new and more efficient ways of setting up business and business collaborations. Rational agreement routines and well thought through contracts help organizations to avoid legal disputes and thus maintain long-term relations with customers and suppliers. Therefore, a digitalized platform where non-lawyers (purchasers, sellers) in a user-friendly interface can draft individual contracts without lawyers is expected to both increase the companies’ labor productivity and to facilitate the evaluation of risks and opportunities over time. To our knowledge, there is very little known about the agreement routines and the firms’ interest of making them more efficient using digital solutions. Based on semi-structured interviews that we carried out in Sweden during the autumn 2019, we found that companies and authorities are not fully in control of their agreements, when it comes to for example the origin of the agreements, the agreement routines, the storage of agreement and authorized signatures and do not fully use the potential of digital tools for managing and negotiating contracts. Unexpectedly, organizations seem to be of the opinion that the current, a little bit unmodern, system actually works for them. Therefore, new digital tools and/or digital platforms must really meet the needs of the organizations to correspond to the investment for it. Our interviews suggest that new simple digital solutions might be appreciated and used.

EU VAT : Adjustment of Input VAT Case C-532/16 SEB bankas
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Intertax. - : Kluwer Law International. - 0165-2826 .- 1875-8347. ; 46:8-9, s. 728-731
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The initial deduction of input VAT shall be adjusted where it is higher or lower than that to which the taxable person was entitled. In SEB bankas, the CJEU stated that the obligation to adjust undue VAT deductions set down in Article 184 of the VAT Directive also applies to cases where the initial deduction could not be made lawfully because the transaction giving rise to that deduction was exempt from VAT. In contrast, the adjustment system for capital goods does not apply to undue VAT. It is up to the Member States to determine the date on which the obligation to adjust the undue VAT deduction arises and the time period within which that adjustment must be made, in accordance with the EU law principles, in particular the principles of legal certainty and legitimate expectations.
