Sweden submitted Proposition 2026/27:9 on 27 October 2026, advancing the 3 September Council on Legislation referral. It remains a government proposal, not an enacted change.
Proposed Chapter 6, section 2 a would move liability for the full domestic top-up tax allocated to a Swedish-resident joint venture or its Swedish-resident subsidiary from Swedish group constituent entities to the joint venture or subsidiary itself. Related procedural amendments would require its own domestic top-up tax return. The Government aims to address the joint-venture-specific QDMTT Safe Harbour switch-off; the bill is not a new OECD qualification decision.
Proposed commencement is 1 March 2027, normally for fiscal years beginning after 28 February 2027. Earlier application for years beginning after 31 December 2023 would require the joint venture, its subsidiaries and the constituent entities in the relevant group all to elect; it is not automatic retrospective relief. These central measures were already in the September referral. Official bill, sections 2.1–2.2, 4 and 7, and Annex 5.
