An update from Kungsleden on tax rulings
The Administrative Court in Stockholm has reported its ruling on a case where listed Swedish property company Kungsleden appealed against the Swedish Tax Agency's decision to reject deductions for the impairment of lagerandelar (defined in Swedish law as a construction company's shareholding in a property management company) and the application of transitional provisions for the fiscal year 2009.
The tax claim resulting from this ruling is SEK 120 m, which was reported previously in the Annual Report for 2010 and Interim Reports during 2011. The Administrative Court's ruling will be subject to appeal at the Administrative Court of Appeal.
Kungsleden regards this judicial decision as erroneous, and the company's definitive view remains that the company has complied with the laws and practice in place coincident with each tax return, a view shared by external experts on tax issues. No provision will be made in according to described background above.
