Swedish Tax Agency Clarifies VAT Rules for Landlords on Utilities and Vehicle Charging

  • The Swedish Tax Agency issued a statement on VAT treatment for landlords supplying electricity, gas, water, and heat
  • Supplies charged at a flat rate are VAT-exempt as they are part of the rent
  • Supplies based on actual consumption are taxable as they are separate from rent
  • Electricity for vehicle charging is generally taxable unless part of a VAT-exempt parking rental
  • Landlords can deduct input VAT on infrastructure for taxable supplies as these costs are not tied to residential use
