Sweden Tax Codes

Tax codes determine how much tax is paid on each transaction line item. For NetSuite to calculate correct values on transaction records and tax reports, make sure that the tax codes for Sweden are set up correctly.

Important Things to Note

  • The International Tax Reports SuiteApp only supports 139 unique tax codes per tax period for each country.

  • You can use more than 139 tax codes for each country if these tax codes are not used in the same tax period.

  • You must use the new tax code properties provided by the SuiteApp. In addition to the properties that are common to all nexuses, the VAT reporting feature for Sweden uses the following properties:

    • Import

    • Reduced Rate

    • Special Reduced Rate

    Carefully review your current tax codes and edit them to match the settings in the Tax Code Table for Sweden.

  • The following boxes must be checked on the ESSP tax code used for purchases of services from EU:

    • Reverse Charge Code

    • EC Code

    • Applies to Service Items

  • Transactions with the following tax code settings are not included in the Sweden VAT report:

    • Tax code for purchase of services with the following boxes checked:

      • Applies to Service Items

    • Tax codes for sales or purchase of goods and services within the EU with the following boxes checked:

      • Applies to Service Items

Tax Code Table for Sweden

The following table shows the tax properties required to correctly generate the tax reports provided by the International Tax Reports SuiteApp. The tax code names or letters presented in the table are suggested names or default system preferences. You can rename the tax codes. Tax reports identify transactions by looking at the tax code properties, not the tax code names.

On the New Tax Code or Edit Tax Code page, check the boxes of the properties that apply to the tax code. For more information about tax code properties, see Tax Code Properties.
