Parliament approves VAT registration threshold rise to acknowledge record inflation
Sweden’s Riksdag parliament has signed-off on raising the 2025 annual sales threshold for VAT registration from SEK 80,000 to SEK 120,000 (approximately €10,100). The threshold was last raised in 2022.
This new threshold will apply from 1 January 2025. It is subject to publication in the 2024 budget, and approval by Parliament.
