🇬🇧 English
The measure allows Sweden to extend and amend its tonnage tax scheme for shipping companies until the end of 2036. The European Commission reviewed the state aid case and raised no objections. The scheme gives eligible sea transport businesses a tax advantage linked to tonnage rather than ordinary profit taxation. It affects passenger and freight shipping operators, transport support businesses, and Sweden’s tax authority, which administers the scheme.
