Sverdrup has extensive special competence in company, industrial and personal taxation. We assist prior to and during taxation transactions, in assessment treatment, complaints regarding the tax assessment – and we litigate before all courts of law.

Modern tax planning is about optimising the activity so that one does not pay an unnecessary amount of tax. Tax questions arise in very many situations. As an example can be mentioned purchase and sale of activities, re-structuring, change of ownership form, and transfer of assets to the next generation.

Our lawyers assist with all the aspects of tax law and the law governing public charges. Our lawyers have valuable experience from tax administration, auditing companies, and interest organisations.
