RUT & ROT
Many home services in Sweden qualify for a tax deduction. RUT gives 50% off labour for services like cleaning, gardening and moving; ROT gives 30% (in 2026) for renovation-type work in a home you own. The company applies it on the invoice. Our guides explain which applies — always check current rules with Skatteverket.
