Sweden and the United States (U.S.) have signed the Defence Cooperation Agreement (the so-called DCA agreement). The agreement entered into force on 15^th of August 2024.

As a result, armed forces stationed in Sweden from the U.S., military personnel and also their relatives are subject to the special tax rules that already apply to aid organizations, foreign embassies, career consulates, diplomats, armed forces and others. The person covered has the right to make tax-free purchases of goods and services under certain conditions. If tax is paid, it can be deducted either in the Swedish income tax return or by submitting a special application form for a tax refund.

Skattepunkten is specialized in taxes with regards to foreigners who reside and/or conduct work in Sweden. As part of this, we can offer our expertise to those affected by these rules.

We are happy to help you with advice or with requesting reimbursement either through a special application or by requesting a deduction in the income tax return.
