Do I have to pay tax on gifts of money?

Question

Hello, I wonder if in Sweden you have to pay tax on the money I received as a gift? Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Lawline with your question!

In Sweden, there is no tax on gifts, the acquisition/giving of gifts is tax-free (8 kap. 2 § inkomstskattelagen) Therefore you do not have to pay tax on this money.

If you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us again!

Sincerely,
