The acquisition cost of Sampo and Mandatum shares after the partial demerger under the Finnish taxation

The Finnish Tax Administration has on 28 November 2023 published instructions for determining the acquisition cost of Sampo and Mandatum shares after the partial demerger. 

The acquisition cost of Sampo plc’s share is 91.66 per cent and of Mandatum plc’s share 8.34 per cent of the original acquisition cost prior to the partial demerger.
