Sweden to cut food VAT rate from 12% to 6%

3 October 2025

In September 2025, the Swedish government announced a temporary reduction on the VAT rate applied to most food products (excluding alcohol) from 12% to 6%.

This will apply from 1 April 2026 until 31 December 2027 and is being implemented to help support household finances during a period of economic downturn and persistently high food prices in the country.
