avdragsgill

Avdragsgill is a term used in Swedish tax language to describe expenses, losses or costs that are allowed to reduce the tax base. When an item is avdragsgill, it may be deducted from taxable income or from profits in a business, depending on the applicable tax rules. The concept distinguishes deductible costs from those that are not deductible under current law. Whether an item is avdragsgill depends on the specific tax provision that applies to the taxpayer or the activity in question.

Common examples of avdragsgill expenses include certain costs related to work or business activities, such as necessary travel costs for work, professional fees, and depreciation or amortization of asset use in a business. In addition, some financial expenses like interest on loans tied to income-generating activities may be deductible under specific rules. Conversely, personal or private expenses, fines, penalties, and costs that do not have a clear connection to income generation are typically not avdragsgill.

For individuals and businesses, whether a cost is avdragsgill can depend on the activity, the form of taxation, and the precise wording of tax regulations. Tax reliefs and deductions are often subject to thresholds, limitations, and documentation requirements, and rules can change over time. It is common to refer to official guidance from the tax authority and to consult a tax professional to determine if a particular expense qualifies as avdragsgill in a given year.
