- The Swedish Tax Agency plans to introduce 25% VAT on parking spaces adjacent to rental or condominium homes starting October 1, 2026.
- Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson opposes the new VAT rule and wants to investigate ways to stop it, calling it unreasonable.
- The change could affect around 1 million people and make parking significantly more expensive.
- Social Democrats criticize the government for not acting sooner on the issue.
- Exemptions from VAT will apply if the parking space is closely tied to the residence, cannot be opted out of, and is not used for economic activity.
