R&D Incentives in Sweden:
Enhance your company’s performance with R&D Incentives

What are R&D Incentives?

R&D Incentives in Sweden have been enhanced to encourage companies to invest in research and development. Since January 1, 2024, the tax deduction rate, known as “forskningsavdrag,” is set at 20%. Furthermore, in July 2023, the Swedish government increased the threshold for eligible expenses from 1.2 million SEK to 3 million SEK per month. This scheme, initiated in 2014 and strengthened in April 2020, aims to support companies’ R&D efforts regardless of their profit situation, allowing them to claim a relief of 20% on employer contributions up to 3 million SEK per month.

The R&D incentive in Sweden allows for claims to be made for the current year and retrospectively for the six previous years.

Do You Qualify?

To qualify for the R&D incentive in Sweden, companies can receive up to a 20% relief on a maximum of 3 million SEK per month in employer contributions. Eligible R&D activities must align with the OECD Frascati Manual, encompassing fundamental research, industrial research, and experimental development with a commercial aim.
