NO AMENDMENT TO RAISIO'S TAXATION FOR 2004
Raisio plc Stock Exchange Release 29 August 2008
NO AMENDMENT TO RAISIO'S TAXATION FOR 2004
The Helsinki Administrative Court has handled the appeal filed by the
representative of the Tax Office for Major Corporations concerning the taxation
of the sales profit resulting from the divestment of Raisio Chemicals in 2004.
The Administrative Court's decision coincides with the original decision made by
the Tax Office for Major Corporations in the company's regular taxation, as well
as that later made by the Assessment Adjustment Board. According to the
decision, the sales profit of approximately EUR 220 million is free of tax.
The Administrative Court's decision will take legal effect within 60 days from
its announcement, unless the representative of the tax recipients applies for
leave to appeal and amendment from Supreme Administrative Court.
