Bill presented to hike Value Added Tax registration level to take thousands out of tax net; other COVID-19 support
Sweden is to increase its Value Added Tax Registration threshold to SEK 80,000 (approx €7,800) per annum from SEK 30,000. Businesses providing taxable supplies below this threshold may voluntarily opt to register.
The new threshold will apply from 1 July 2022. Read more about Swedish VAT in our country guide.

- Shift from 12% to 6% reduced VAT rate for bicycle repairs and clothing
- Temporary VAT exemption on COVID-19 related supplies
- Withdrawal of advertising tax from 1 January 2022
