Hans Larsson

Hans Larsson has been active for more than 40 years in the tax administration field and his substantial experience has given him in-depth expertise within most issues concerning taxation. His last years with the Swedish National Tax Board were as an international specialist at the Board’s legal department in Växjö and thereafter in Göteborg.

Hans joined Skattepunkten AB as a tax consultant in July 2007.

His specialist field is examining the tax consequences for natural persons in connection with their immigration to and emigration from Sweden.

He is also significantly involved in solving tax issues for people who work in the international sphere both for airlines and at sea.

Another of the areas in which Hans has specialised is social insurance obligations, which is extremely important for the individual’s insurance cover and associated benefits but which is of course also important at the same time for the person who is liable for paying the social insurance contributions. Hans is very knowledgeable about the three different systems of regulations that may apply when working internationally and which thus determine the individual’s social insurance benefits and obligations.

Hans is a very positive and practically-oriented person.

Ove Grip

Ove has been active in the tax administration field for 37 years since 1971 – first with the Gävleborg County Administrative Board and then with the regional tax authorities in the same district. Ove has a law degree and an MSc in political science.

Ove started his career as an executive officer in the offices of the former County Tax Court in the County of Gävleborg. After gaining experience here for a few years he moved on in 1973 to the assessment unit (which later became the appeals section) of the County Administrative Board’s taxation department. From 1974 Ove was involved in tax litigation, first as a tax inspector and progressing subsequently to the position of senior inspector and was involved with judicial proceedings in the county administrative court, the administrative court of appeal and the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court. He also appeared for the state in cases concerning liability for tax in various county courts and he also acted as a public legal representative in attachment cases. In his capacity as a general legal representative, he was able to apply to the county court for judgement in regard to attachments.

In connection with the introduction of the Swedish Enforcement Act in 1994, Ove took part in a two-stage legal professional training course on enforcement measures and subsequently conducted the training of his colleagues in regard to the application of this field of law. Ove was appointed a tax investigation leader in accordance with the law and fulfilled this role up to the time of his retirement from the tax authority.

After a certain degree of specialisation in cases concerning international tax and the taxation of trusts and non-profit organisations, Ove was appointed, after transferring in 1999 to the legal department of the Tax Authority in Gävle (the legal departments replaced in principle the appeals sections), as a specialist in these fields.

At the legal department, Ove continued as an authorised inspector of taxes to act as litigator in specific cases. After being appointed by the Swedish National Tax Board, he represented the Board in a number of cases in the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court. Ove continued in the role of consultant at the legal department and provided various forms of assistance to staff involved in operative tax matters. In providing assistance to the National Tax Board’s service department, Ove answered indirectly enquiries both from the general public and from a wide variety of companies. Ove has gained substantial experience from his long career in conducting various types of legal examinations within the taxation field.

For nearly all his career in taxation, Ove was involved in the exchange of information on tax issues with other countries.

Ove has held a number of senior management positions during his career. These include the position of head of the former administrative unit and acting head of the legal department. Ove was appointed to the post of tax commissioner in 1999.

Ove has passed on his expertise on many occasions as a course lecturer at the tax authority and also as a lecturer at a number of university courses.

Ove joined Skattepunkten AB as a tax consultant in August 2008.
