The Swedish VAT Guide with examples and codes

Product description

Swedish VAT is simple – until it isn't. EU trade, reverse charge, import and picking the right box in the return are exactly what create uncertainty and mistakes, even for experienced business owners and their advisors.

After many years working with VAT, EU trade and localization, I've gathered what you need to know into a guide that is actually understandable. Every situation is explained in plain language, with a concrete example, a journal entry with the VAT code, and the right box in the Swedish VAT return – so you can get it right the first time.

The guide is updated for 2026, including the reduced food VAT (from 12 % to 6 % from 1 April). And you also get a ready-made Excel VAT calculator that works out VAT forwards and backwards, acquisition VAT on EU purchases and import VAT – you just enter the amount.
