How does 25% Moms work — any tricks for tax categories?
Categories:
Magento Developer Sweden
Sweden has one of the world’s highest standard VAT rates at 25% — you set this as your default Magento tax_class rate. But three reduced rates apply:
- 12% Moms — food, restaurants, hotels.
- 6% Moms — books, newspapers, magazines, public transport, cultural events.
- 0% Moms — healthcare, education, financial services.
Tricks:
- Use Magento
tax_class_productper category (e.g. fashion = 25%, books = 6%). - OSS for cross-border B2C to other EU countries — one VAT registration, you collect destination-country VAT.
- Reverse charge for B2B to other EU countries (zero-rated, with VAT-number / org-no validation via VIES + Skatteverket).
- SEK pricing displayed inclusive (Sweden expects inclusive retail prices, exclusive only for B2B).
