Corporate Tax Advisory & VAT Compliance in Sweden

Corporate income tax in Sweden is a flat 20.6% applied exclusively to net business profits. Value-Added Tax (VAT / Moms) features a standard rate of 25%, with reduced brackets of 12% and 6% for specific sectors. Foreign businesses operating in Sweden must maintain strict cross-border filing discipline to avoid severe Skatteverket tax surcharges (Skattetillägg), which can reach up to 40% for income omissions. ITTIFAQ delivers strategic international tax optimization, transfer pricing documentation, and localized VAT compliance to safely manage your global tax obligations.

International and Cross-Border Tax Optimization

The Swedish fiscal landscape rewards precise, forward-looking planning. For multinational corporations and international subsidiaries, navigating the intersection of local tax codes and global double-taxation treaties is essential to avoid punitive corporate overlap.

Corporate Income Tax (Inkomstdeklaration 2)

We manage the entire corporate income tax workflow for your Aktiebolag. This includes calculating taxable profit adjustments, structuring group consolidations (Koncernbidrag) to offset profits against losses across subsidiaries legally, and preparing the complex annual tax declaration forms for Skatteverket.

Transfer Pricing and Cross-Border Transactions

Intercompany transactions across international borders face intense scrutiny from Swedish tax auditors. We help you design, document, and defend compliant transfer pricing policies. We ensure all cross-border management fees, asset licensing, and intercompany loans strictly meet the arm's length principle, aligning seamlessly with OECD guidelines.

End-to-End Swedish VAT (Moms) Management

The Swedish VAT framework (Moms) is highly digitalized but intensely regulated. Simple filing discrepancies or delayed submissions can instantly trigger automated financial penalties from the state.

VAT Registration and Reverse-Charge Mechanisms

We handle your initial VAT application with Skatteverket and identify if your business qualifies for the reverse-charge mechanism—a system that shifts VAT liability to the buyer for cross-border B2B transactions, protecting your working capital.

OSS (One-Stop Shop) and E-Commerce Compliance

For international businesses utilizing fulfillment networks or selling digital items directly to Swedish consumers, we manage One-Stop Shop (OSS) and Import One-Stop Shop (IOSS) reporting. We track local distance-selling rules and secure your VAT reporting lines to prevent customs delays at the border.
