Property Tax
The assessed value of a property is calculated based on standardized models, often resulting in property owners paying too high taxes. Our team specializing in property tax comprises experts in real estate, construction costs, and legislation, guiding you to accurate assessed values.
Declarations – general, simplified, and special property tax assessments
Time to declare for your property tax assessment? It is not always easy to ensure that correct information is provided for the generally large number of properties that need to be declared. Often, there is a lack of time or of in-depth knowledge. However, incorrect handling can result in significantly altered and unfavourable taxation. Our specialists in property assessment make the process both easy and profitable by helping you with everything from investigations to the preparation or review of your declarations. The Swedish general and simplified property assessments (AFT and FFT) occur every three years and involves a general review of the properties' conditions. Additionally, you may need to declare annually for the special property assessment (SFT). This applies when a property has a new tax assessment basis, such as when non-negligible investments have been made or property conversions have occurred.
Review and adjustment of assessed values
In conjunction with reviews of a property owner's entire portfolio, we often find multiple properties with excessive assessed values. This is explained by the fact that the assessed value is influenced by a large number of complex factors, such as the property's valuation year, building rights, rents, and special conditions. To avoid paying taxes on incorrect grounds, it is crucial to examine the underlying factors of your assessed values. Over time, we have developed well-proven methods for analyzing this and can thereby achieve a correct assessment value for your particular property. Our work involves addressing issues such as changing the decided value years after a rebuild, adjusting for deviating building rights, and calculating comparative rents or other conditions.
Legal Proceedings
The Swedish Tax Agency's decisions on property tax assessment can be reviewed up to five years back in time. There are thus good chances of both getting back incorrectly paid property taxes and reducing future tax costs. Our specialist group has extensive and well-documented experience of appeals against tax assessment values, both through reconsideration procedures with the Tax Agency and, if necessary, legal proceedings in court.
