Frequently Asked Questions (vanliga frågor)

What is the maximum tax-free friskvårdsbidrag limit in Sweden?

Skatteverket caps tax-free wellness allowance (*friskvårdsbidrag*) at SEK 5,000 per employee per year. Employers may choose to offer less (e.g., SEK 2,000–3,000) or more, but any amount exceeding SEK 5,000 becomes a taxable benefit.

Can I buy sports equipment or clothing with friskvårdsbidrag?

No. Skatteverket strictly excludes physical equipment (golf clubs, skis, running shoes, bicycles, padel rackets). The allowance only covers activity fees, court bookings, memberships, and instructional classes.

Are digital fitness app subscriptions tax-free?

Yes. Digital subscriptions for workout programs, yoga apps, running trackers, and mental wellness apps (e.g., Strava, Headspace, Apple Fitness+) qualify for tax-free reimbursement if the receipt itemizes exercise or health activities.
