Taxation
The tax regulations in the Scandinavian countries are intense and complex; and the level of taxes are generally high. At the same time, the tax systems intentionally offer legal ways for businesses to reduce and/or postpone taxes, or at least avoid double taxation. Consequently, tax matters should be considered before commencing any major business transaction or activity.
