When was the VAT rate last changed in Sweden?
VAT rates in Sweden are reviewed regularly by the national government. The current standard rate of 25% has been in effect since the last official update. Check the European Commission VAT database for historical rate changes.
Do I need to register for VAT in Sweden?

What about reverse charge for cross-border sales to Sweden?
If you sell services to a VAT-registered business in Sweden, you typically apply the reverse charge mechanism. The buyer accounts for VAT instead of you. This applies to most B2B services within the EU.
