Living There

Residents of Sweden have a Basic Income Tax deduction ranging from SEK11,700 (€1,272) up to SEK30,600 (€3,326) depending on their level of income. Resident taxpayers are also allowed to deduct 25% of their pension contribution. After computing the taxable income, municipal tax rates are applied which vary from 29% to 34.74%. Then the national tax follows (see Taxes and Costs in Sweden).

For deemed residents (non residents under IL), deductions are only up to the amount of expenses related to their taxable income in Sweden.
