In this first episode of Swedish Money Matters, we dive into the essential details of the Swedish tax system. We explore the role of the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket), including its responsibilities in tax collection, managing the national population register, and preventing tax fraud. We’ll break down the different types of taxes—income tax, value-added tax (VAT), and excise taxes—while comparing Sweden’s tax structure to other countries and discussing its historical development. Finally, we examine how Swedish tax rates have evolved and their impact on the economy today. Tune in for a comprehensive guide to Swedish taxes! Hosted on Acast.
