Last updated: 2022-05-12
A special tax is levied on certain selected goods and services. This tax is called excise duty and has the main purpose of controlling the consumption of these goods and services. As with other taxes, excise duty is added to the sales price.
The most common examples of goods and services subject to excise duty are:
- Alcohol
- Energy
- Tobacco
Anyone who sells goods or services subject to excise duty must declare their sale and pay the tax to the Swedish Tax Agency.
