Skattetabell

Skattetabell is a Swedish term referring to a tax table used to calculate income tax. These tables are issued by the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) and are used by employers to determine the correct amount of preliminary tax to withhold from an employee's salary. The tables take into account various factors such as the taxpayer's income, age, and any deductions or tax allowances they are entitled to.

There are different skattetabeller depending on the municipality and the specific tax year. Employers use these tables to ensure that the correct amount of tax is paid throughout the year, avoiding large tax refunds or payments at the end of the tax year. Individuals can also use the skattetabeller to estimate their tax liability.

The primary purpose of the skattetabell is to simplify the tax collection process and ensure a more even distribution of tax payments over the year. It serves as a practical tool for both employers and individuals in managing their tax obligations in Sweden. The exact details and percentages within the tables are subject to annual adjustments based on government budget decisions and changes in tax legislation.
