An analysis by Borenius
Earlier this year, the Finnish Central Tax Board gave a preliminary ruling on the VAT deduction right of share acquisition costs accrued to a holding company that is owned indirectly by a private equity fund. This new ruling follows the previous ruling issued by the Central Tax Board on the same topic.
