2015, “Konsekvenser för delägare vid en uttagsbeskattning [Consequences for shareholders in the event of a withdrawal taxation]”, in Swedish Tax Agency:

The Supreme Administrative Court has determined that if a company owned by a natural person makes a donation transferring assets in the form of cash, shares, and business-related shares to a foundation with limited tax liability, the owner is to be taxed as if receiving a dividend based on the value of these assets.

Denna bestämmelse är inte tillämplig när en fysiker äger sådana tillgångar indirekt via ett handelsbolag eftersom en utdelning eller en kapitalvinst tas upp i inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet (13 kap. 4 § och 15 kap. 1 § IL).

2024, “Delägarrätter, fordringar och andra kapitaltillgångar [Equity rights, receivables, and other capital assets]”, in Swedish Tax Agency:

This provision does not apply when a natural person owns such assets indirectly through a partnership, as dividends or capital gains are reported under the income category of business activity (Chapter 13, Section 4, and Chapter 15, Section 1 of the Income Tax Act).
