It is located at Götgatan 76 in the district of Södermalm, in a block named Gamen (The Vulture).

The building was designed by architect Paul Hedqvist for the Swedish National Tax Board (hence its name).

It served as the office of the Tax Board until 2003, when it was decided under then Mayor of Stockholm Annika Billström that the building be rebuilt internally to turn it into student apartments.

The building is protected as a cultural landmark by the City of Stockholm, which means it can't be rebuilt externally.

The skyscraper, as rebuilt by Skanska, now has 415 student apartments as well as office and conference space on the top floors.
