Our dear colleague and cofounder Ulf is no longer with us.
It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Ulf, after a short illness, passed away in the summer of 2024. Ulf was an invaluable part in the founding and development of Unum, a much appreciated colleague and a good friend.
Ulf loved challenges, especially those about treasures. Cracking tax nuts (as he himself called it) was not only his profession but also his passion. He performed his work with such skill and joy that it inspired us all. Ulf also cared a lot about his clients. His commitment and care showed in every conversation, every meeting and every piece of advice he gave. Tax Sweden has not only lost one of its top tax advisers, but also an entrepreneur, author and word artist.
Our thoughts go out to Ulf’s beloved wife and his large family. Rest in peace, dear Ulf. The lack is and will remain great.
/ The friends at Unum
Ulf worked for well over 40 years as a tax advisor to the business world with clients in most industries such as banking, finance and insurance, entertainment as well as industry and real estate. His vast experience covers the whole area – and he built up over the years a special experience in tax matters in connection with restructuring, M&A, financial instruments, fund structures, incentive programs, 3:12 rules, trusts, moving in and out and not least tax processes.
In addition to tax advice, Ulf wrote several books in the tax area, i.a. “Tax on capital” and “Tretolv” and is co-author of “Tax on financial instruments” and “Incomest tax law – a comment” as well as other tax manuals. In addition, Ulf published a large number of articles in Swedish tax law journals and authored several Swedish national reports for the International Fiscal Association (IFA).
