With effect from 1st July 2019, e-books and electronically provided magazines and journals will become subject to the lower rate of 6% VAT (the standard rate of 25% previously applied) in Sweden. This change will result in equal treatment of electronic publications and their physical equivalents under Swedish VAT law. This falls into line with similar rate reductions being applied to such products across other EU member states.
For more information please see a copy (in Swedish) of the amending law available at the Riksdag’s website.
