VAT for online stores in Norway and Sweden

Selling online in the Nordics means dealing with several VAT rates. Here is a quick overview.

Norway

The standard rate is 25%. Food is 15%, and some services such as passenger transport are 12%.

Sweden

The standard rate is 25%. Food is 12%, and books and newspapers are 6%.

Mixed orders

When an order contains items with different rates, each line must be booked with its own rate. Ledger Integration reads VAT per line from your store.

What about shipping?

Shipping you charge for normally follows the VAT rate of the goods. Check with your accountant if unsure.
