Fiscal subject related
The Riksdag, Sweden's parliament, has approved a series of amendments to the VAT law, introducing significant changes effective from January 1, 2025.:
- Increased VAT registration threshold: the VAT registration threshold will rise from SEK 80,000 to SEK 120,000 (USD 11,360), allowing more companies to use simplified invoices.
- VAT on Artwork sales: Sales of artwork will be subject to a 12 percent VAT rate, regardless of whether sold by the artist or their estate. However, this reduced rate cannot be combined with the profit margin tax regime.
- Virtual events and activities: The place of supply for virtually hosted events and activities will be determined by the recipient's location. This aligns with the EU VAT Directive, which currently taxes such activities based on where they are held.
- EU-Wide Small Business scheme: The legislation will enable companies operating across EU borders to benefit from the small business scheme in multiple states. Non-resident businesses can also benefit if their supplies fall below the Swedish threshold and their EU-wide turnover does not exceed EUR 100,000.
These changes aim to simplify VAT compliance and adapt to the evolving digital economy, providing clarity and support for businesses operating within and across Sweden's borders.
