How to easily obtain VAT refund from Sweden


A service provided by European Tax Service AB in Sweden,
by recommendation from MCI in Sweden

In Sweden, VAT (Swedish: Moms) is applied by a standard 25% rate on almost all goods and services,
including registration fees for congresses and conferences and participation in exhibitions and trade shows.
Some exceptions are however valid, as for example hotel accommodation (12% VAT rate) and passenger transportation (6% VAT rate).

The VAT is therefore considerable affecting the cost incurred by your company. Your company, as a non-Swedish company except for insurance, banking, educational and health-care companies and a few other company types, is however entitled to recover the Swedish VAT. European Tax Service can assist you in obtaining refund of VAT for all expenses related to your company’s stay in Sweden.


Simply just follow these few steps

As soon as your stay in Sweden is completed, send us:

1.     Our VAT refund form in original, duly signed by an authorised person at your company.
2.     A recent certificate of status (a corporate registration certificate from the authorities
        in your company’s country indicating the type of activity conducted by your company)
3.     All your company’s original invoices and receipts with Swedish VAT stated. No photocopies are accepted.

European Tax Service will send you a confirmation of the documents received from you. Your original invoices/
receipts will be returned to you after the Swedish Tax Authority has decided your VAT refund. We therefore recommend you to keep a copy of your invoices and receipts during the handling period.


When and how to get your refund

The Swedish Tax Authority shall make their refund no later than 6 months from the date the claim is submitted. European Tax Service will deduct the fee and transfer your money to the bank account stated in your VAT
refund form.
