Of those, digitalization is understudied and often only analysed from a technological perspective. Energy digitalization could however fulfil important monitoring and operational functions, in energy systems which will likely become more complex. This paper therefore

Mervärdesskatt och Transfer Pricing är två av de stora områdena inom internationell skatterätt, då det förra är en indirekt skatt och baseras på det subjektiva priset och det senare området tillhör direkt beskattning och använder ett objektivt, fiktivt pris för beräkning kan de vid första anblick sakna anknytning. Det finns dock en risk att justeringar av det pris som använts för Transfer Pricing-Value added tax and Transfer Pricing are two of the major areas of international tax law, as the former one uses a subjective price for the calculation of taxation and the latter one uses an objective price the two regimes seemingly lack interaction. There is however a possibility that an adjustment of the price used for Transfer Pricing purposes might have an effect on the VAT due. VAT is a har

Denna uppsats undersöker effekterna av minimikapitalkravet i relation till svenska privata aktiebolag. Aktiekapitalets ”vara eller inte vara” är något som länge debatterats, i Sverige och utanför. Sverige och många av de kontinentaleuropeiska länderna, såsom Tyskland, har en tradition att kräva att entreprenörer som önskar att starta ett privat aktiebolag bidrar med kapital till detta. Skälen är This thesis aims to clarify the effects of the minimum share capital requirement in relation to Swedish private limited liability companies. The “be or not to be” of a minimum share capital requirement has been debated for a long time, both in Sweden and abroad.
