The proceedings concerning the sales profit from the divestment of Raisio’s chemical business in 2004 have concluded favourably for Raisio. The Tax Administration’s Tax Recipients’ Legal Services Unit was not granted the leave to appeal by the Supreme Administrative Court. Raisio has considered the sales profit of approximately EUR 220 million to be free of tax and has handled it accordingly in its accounting. This was also the opinion of the Tax Office for Major Corporations in regular taxation, the Assessment Adjustment Board, the Helsinki Administrative Court and now the Supreme Administrative Court. Hannes Snellman's Tax Partner, Ossi Haapaniemi, was in charge of the assignment.
