I did notice once that IKEA's governance scheme looked like an unusually sophisticated anti-tax structure. It now makes sense why the Swedes would be really interested in dodging taxes.
- alephnerd 1y agoThe foundation based governance model is common all over Northern Europe because of the reason you pointed out ;). SAAB, Bosch, ThyssenKrup, and others are similarly structured.
- whizzter 1y agoSAAB is publicly traded, however a majority(or nearly) of voting shares are held more or less directly by the Wallenberg family, they have investment/"power companies" as well as their family foundation(s) and control quite a few major companies here.
