How VAT (moms) works in Sweden
The standard rate is 25%. Adding VAT (moms) means multiplying the net price by 1.25. Removing it is the step people get wrong: you divide the gross by 1.25, you do not subtract 25%. Taking 25% off a VAT (moms)-inclusive total leaves you short, because the 25% was charged on the smaller net figure, not on the total.
Adding 25% VAT (moms)
| Net amount | VAT (moms) at 25% | Gross amount |

| 100 | 25 | 125 |
| 250 | 62.50 | 312.50 |
| 500 | 125 | 625 |
| 1,000 | 250 | 1,250 |
| 2,500 | 625 | 3,125 |
| 5,000 | 1,250 | 6,250 |
| 10,000 | 2,500 | 12,500 |
Removing 25% VAT (moms) from a gross amount
Use this direction when you have a receipt or an inclusive price and need the net figure for your books:
| Gross amount | Net amount | VAT (moms) included |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 80 | 20 |
| 250 | 200 | 50 |
| 500 | 400 | 100 |
| 1,000 | 800 | 200 |
| 2,500 | 2,000 | 500 |
| 5,000 | 4,000 | 1,000 |

Reduced and zero rates
Not everything is charged at 25%. In Sweden the reduced and zero rates cover 12% on food, hotels and restaurants, and 6% on books, newspapers and passenger transport. The calculator above accepts any rate, so switch to a custom rate when you are invoicing something outside the standard band.
Registering and charging
Sweden has one of the highest standard rates in the EU, which makes the reduced bands worth checking carefully. Until you are registered you must not charge VAT (moms), and once you are, your invoices need your registration number, the rate applied and the VAT (moms) amount shown separately. Keep the arithmetic on the invoice consistent with your filings: rounding each line differently is a common source of small mismatches.
