Now its time to Emigrate from Sweden , Before you pack that last moving box, make sure your financial exit plan is as well-prepared as your move!. Navigating taxes and investments when leaving Sweden can be tricky, but getting it right is key.
Here’s a quick checklist for your financial farewell:
👉 Know Your Tax Status: Unlimited vs. Limited The Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) will first determine your tax liability. This decides whether you’re still taxed in Sweden on your worldwide income (“unlimited liability”) or only on income generated from Swedish sources (“limited liability”). It’s a crucial distinction!
👉 Prove You’ve Moved On To be considered for “limited tax liability,” you need to show that you’ve cut significant ties to Sweden. This involves demonstrating that you no longer have a permanent home, family, or significant business activities in the country.
👉 Heads Up, Investors: The 10-Year Rule. Did you know that Sweden can, in some cases, tax your capital gains from stock sales for up to 10 years after you’ve moved? Don’t panic—a tax treaty between Sweden and your new country can often limit or eliminate this rule.
👉 The Tax Treaty Is Your Rulebook For any income you still earn from Sweden after you leave, the double taxation agreement between the two countries is the ultimate guide. It determines which country has the right to tax that income, preventing you from being taxed twice.
Planning your financial departure is just as important as the move itself. A little prep now can save a lot of headaches later!
