Legal Case: Horse racing competition deemed to be economic activity

  • Economic activity involves continuous sales of goods or services
  • Selling private assets is usually considered a private activity
  • A recent court case determined that horse racing competitions can be considered economic activities
  • The company in question had been involved in horse racing since 1995 and generated income from race entry fees
  • The court ruling contradicted the Swedish Tax Agency’s previous stance on the matter
  • The Tax Agency will review its position in light of the court ruling
