What is the Swedish corporate tax rate?

Sweden levies a flat corporate income tax (bolagsskatt) of 20.6% on taxable profit. This rate has been in force since 1 January 2021, when it was reduced from 22%.

Are there different tax rates for small or large companies?

No. Unlike some countries, Sweden uses a single flat rate of 20.6% for all companies regardless of their size or profit level. There are no progressive brackets for corporate income tax.

What is taxable profit in Sweden?

Taxable profit is accounting profit adjusted for Swedish tax rules — for example, certain depreciation schedules, provisions, and non-deductible expenses differ from accounting treatment. Enter the Skatteverket-adjusted figure for an accurate result.

Does this include Swedish VAT (moms)?

No. Swedish VAT (moms) is a consumption tax collected from customers and remitted to Skatteverket separately. This tool calculates corporate income tax on profit only.

How does Sweden tax dividends paid to shareholders?

Dividends paid from an aktiebolag are subject to a 30% withholding tax for individuals (reduced to 25% for qualified shares under the 3:12 rules). This calculator covers only the corporate-level income tax, not shareholder-level taxes.

When is Swedish corporate tax due?

Swedish companies pay preliminary tax (F-skatt) monthly throughout the year based on estimated profit. Final settlement is made after the annual income declaration (inkomstdeklaration) is filed, typically in July following the fiscal year end.
