Change in the enterprise's legal structure

Changing the legal structure (completing a conversion) of an entity from a sole proprietorship to a private limited company can be done tax-free if certain conditions are met.

  • You, as the owner of the sole proprietorship, must after the conversion hold 100 percent of the shares (owner shares) in the new company.
  • All assets in the sole proprietorship must be transferred to the new company.

You can change the  the legal structure using the coordinated register notification.
