Frequently Asked Questions (vanliga frågor)
Is there gift or inheritance tax in Sweden in 2026?
No. Sweden abolished gift tax (gåvoskatt) and inheritance tax (arvsskatt) in 2005, and wealth tax (förmögenhetsskatt) in 2007. Asset transfers between family members or individuals are 100% tax-free.
Do I need a written Gift Deed (Gåvobrev)?
A written gift deed (gåvobrev) is legally mandatory when gifting real estate or co-op apartments (bostadsrätt). For cash gifts over SEK 150,000, Swedish banks require a signed gift deed to satisfy Money Laundering (AML) regulations.
What is Kontinuitetsprincipen (continuity principle) for property gifts?
Under Kontinuitetsprincipen, the recipient of a gifted property or stock steps into the donor's tax position, inheriting the original purchase cost basis. Future capital gains tax will be calculated from the original donor's purchase price.
