I Sverige har vi en stark tradition av att upptäcka naturen genom vandring och friluftsliv. När betald semester infördes på 30-talet skapades billiga boendealternativ vid vandringslederna, som vandrarhem och fjällstugor.

Befintliga skatterättsliga principer grundar sig på föreställningar om att affärsverksamheter bedrivs genom fysisk närvaro.

Therefore, a state can only make tax claims based on either the residence principle, or the source principle. According to the latter, a state can only make tax claims against companies that have a physical establishment within the state’s jurisdiction. However, digitalisation and the progression of
