Securing and Maintaining Required Authorisations

Getting Excise Duty Management Right from the Start

Excise duties are governed by complex regulations, where the correct approvals and registrations are often essential for ensuring efficient and seamless business operations. Choosing the right setup can be challenging, particularly when multiple options are available and the consequences of incorrect decisions can be significant.

Reduce Uncertainty with Binding Advanced Rulings

When assessing new products or business concepts from an excise duty perspective, it can be difficult to determine how the regulations should be interpreted. An advance ruling from the Council for Advance Tax Rulings provides a legally binding decision before you act. Such rulings are binding on both the Swedish Tax Agency and the administrative courts and are handled under strict confidentiality.

BDO can support you by:

• Assessing whether an advance ruling is the appropriate course of action
• Preparing a legally sound and comprehensive application
• Providing advice and support throughout the entire process
