Income taxes are based on only 75 percent of income. The reduced tax applies to all salaries and perks, such as employers' contributions to housing and living costs. It will apply to the first three years of the temporary stay in Sweden. However, foreign key personnel may reside in Sweden for up to five years. The employer must be a registered company in Sweden (Swedish or foreign owned). Swedish citizens cannot be granted tax relief. The main feature of Sweden's tax relief legislation will provide a 25 percent reduction of taxable income of a foreign key person. This means that if the relief is granted, a key foreign individual's income tax will be based on only 75 percent of his or her income.</p><p>The application for tax relief must be submitted by the employer or the foreign person within three months of the start of employment. Applications are submitted to Forskarskattenämnden.
