What it does
Sweden's VAT (mervärdesskatt, moms) has three rates: 25% on most goods and services, 12% on hotel stays and restaurant meals, and 6% on books, newspapers, passenger transport, culture and, temporarily from April 2026, food. To add VAT multiply the price without VAT by the rate; to remove it divide the price with VAT by 1.25, 1.12 or 1.06. Of a price with VAT, VAT is 20%, 10.71% or 5.66%.
