How can the tax system strengthen start-ups and SMEs?

On December 3, the Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation hosted a roundtable discussion on how the tax system can be designed to better support the development of start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises. Since the major tax reform of 1991, the system has grown increasingly complex through various deductions, excise duties, and differentiated VAT rates. The discussion therefore focused on the principles that should guide future tax reforms to strengthen entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic growth.

We improve insight

The Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation initiates research and multidisciplinary projects that lead to the development and sharing of new knowledge in business administration and corporate law.

We identify knowledge gaps, fund research, and share new knowledge that contributes to the development of business in Sweden. Over the past years we have improved insights in intrapreneurship, born globals, and the market changes in corporate bonds – to mention a few areas.

We promote collaboration

We connect decision-makers, experts and thought leaders from academia, politics, private and public stakeholders to debate issues and create synergies.

We create an independent and non-partisan arena for constructive dialogue. Our forums arrange salon debates and roundtable discussions where perspectives are broadened, relationships are built, and new ideas take shape. By improving collaboration, we create the conditions for mobilization and development.

We improve policy dialogue

We accelerate the development of policy for a competitive business climate by improving insight and collaboration.

The Karl-Adam Bonnier Foundation creates conditions for different stakeholders to meet, debate and reach consensus. By sharing new knowledge and providing an independent arena for dialogue, we contribute to the development of policy proposals and accelerate improvements.
