Låneförbudet - Om lån från aktiebolag med anledning av två promemorior
(2013) LAGF03 20131Department of Law
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera låneförbudet i aktiebolagslagen
med anledning av två lagförslag som lämnats i två nyligen upprättade
promemorior från Regeringskansliet och Skatteverket. I uppsatsen studeras
inledningsvis förbudets tillkomst och de principiellt viktiga juridiska frågor
som låneförbudet aktualiserar. Därefter har den associationsrättsliga och det
skatterättsliga regleringen av förbudet behandlats. Slutligen har de nämnda
promemoriorna studerats i ljuset av nuvarande förbud.
Två alternativa utformningar av låneförbudet har förespråkats sedan
det infördes år 1973. Det första alternativet utgår från aktiebolagslagens
kapitalskyddsregler och innebär att ett aktiebolag endast ska vara förhindrat

Två alternativa utformningar av låneförbudet har förespråkats sedan
det infördes år 1973. Det första alternativet utgår från aktiebolagslagens
kapitalskyddsregler och innebär att ett aktiebolag endast ska vara förhindrat
att lämna ett lån om lånet riskerar att kränka borgenärernas intressen. Det
andra alternativet är motiverat av viljan att beivra skatteflykt, och förbjuder
lån oberoende av om det kränker borgenärernas berättigade intressen eller
inte. Trots att det alltid varit hårt kritiserat har det senare alternativet varit
gällande rätt i Sverige sedan början på 1970-talet.
I promemorian från Regeringskansliet föreslås att det
aktiebolagsrättsliga låneförbudet ersätts med ett förbud motiverat av att
skydda bolagets borgenärer. I promemorian från Skatteverket förelås att
beskattningen av förbjudna lån ska ske oberoende av den
associationsrättsliga lagstiftningen.
Uppsatsen konstaterar att lagförslaget i Regeringskansliets
promemoria bättre överensstämmer med grunderna för den
aktiebolagsrättsliga lagstiftningen än nuvarande reglering. Uppsatsen
kritiserar lagförslaget i Skatteverkets promemoria för att utredningen av
vissa frågor är bristfällig. (Less) - Abstract
- The aim of this essay is to study the Swedish regulation on the
prohibition of certain loans in the light of recent memoranda drawn up by
the Swedish Government Offices and the Swedish Tax Agency. The essay
considers firstly the circumstances of the introduction of the prohibition to
Swedish law and secondly some questions of principal importance
pertaining to the prohibition. The essay then examines the current regulation
on prohibition of certain loans as found in the Swedish Companies Act, and
the current regulation on the taxation of such loans. Finally, the essay
examines the memoranda in light of the current prohibition.

the current regulation on the taxation of such loans. Finally, the essay
examines the memoranda in light of the current prohibition.
Two alternative prohibition regulations has been advocated since the
introduction of the prohibition in 1973. The first alternative is based on the
rules on protection of capital in the Swedish Companies Act, and holds that
the only time a loan should be prohibited, is if and only if the loan is likely
to impinge on the interests of creditors. The second alternative is based on a
need to curb tax evasion, and prohibits certain loans regardless of whether
the interests of creditors are impinged or not. The latter alternative has been
the law in Sweden since the beginning of the 1970s, despite having been
subjected to strong criticism.
The memorandum from the Government Offices proposes that the
rules concerning prohibition of certain loans is replaced by a prohibition
based solely on the interests of creditors. The memorandum from the
Swedish Tax Agency proposes that loans currently prohibited by the
regulation should be taxed independently of the prohibition rules of the
Companies Act.
The essay concludes that the bill in the memorandum by the
Government Offices better reflects the fundamental principles of Swedish
Company Law than the current legislation. The essay criticizes the bill in
the memorandum by the Swedish Tax Agency on the grounds that the
analysis of certain aspects of the proposed bill is insufficient. (Less)
