- The government has proposed simplified VAT rules to reduce administrative burden for businesses selling second-hand goods or donating food.
- Simplified profit margin taxation would be expanded to apply to goods with a purchase price of up to SEK 10,000, not just cases where the margin for each item cannot be determined.
- This would make VAT handling easier for second-hand sellers, including e-commerce companies, by allowing aggregated calculations over a period.
- The bill also proposes removing VAT on food donations to approved recipients engaged in social welfare activities.
- The changes are planned to take effect on January 1, 2028.
