SWEDISH WITHHOLDING TAX REFUND
Claim your refund!
Have yourself or your business received dividend, that has been subject to Swedish Withholding tax (WHT)? If yes, you can be entitled to a refund of part or whole of the taxes.
​
According to Swedish law on coupon tax, dividends from Swedish companies to non tax residents should be subject to 30 % withholding tax. However, there are many exceptions to this rule.
​
For example, Swedem is part of multiple tax treaties, that usually limits Sweden's right of WHT to 15 %. Also, the EU parental-subsidiary directive presribes that dividends between EU entities shall be exempt from withholding tax, if the receiver of the dividends owns a minimum of 10 % of the shares in the distributing entity.
​
Also, there are even more benifical rules in Sweden, stating that dividends shall not be subject to WHT, provided that the dividend is distributed from a limited liability company that is not publicly traded on a stock exchange.
