How to do your VAT registration
If you conduct business activities and sell services, you must register for VAT with the Swedish Tax Agency. You must submit VAT returns and pay VAT to the Tax Agency on the sales.
When you buy services from abroad (e.g. Uber which is based in the Netherlands) or provide services to companies and businesses in other EU countries, such as Uber, you also need a VAT registration. If you’re new to VAT, this page walks you through the basics of your registration process. Expect the registration process with the Tax Agency to take 2 to 6 weeks.
Consult a tax advisor for more details on criteria and requirements that apply to you.

What your registration entails
VAT collected from providing services
The VAT you collect from selling your services (output VAT on transportation services sold to Riders) is payable to the Tax Agency with your VAT return.
VAT on business expenses
Besides collecting VAT, VAT will also be charged to you by other companies (input VAT). For example on business expenses such as fuel and car repairs. When you are registered for VAT and charge VAT on your sales, you may have the right to deduct input VAT from your collected VAT. You will then pay to the Tax Agency the difference between the VAT that you charge on your sales (output VAT) and the VAT that you pay on your purchases (input VAT).
Criteria and Requirements
If you sell transportation services via the Uber platform, a VAT registration is required.
As a sole trader or a limited liability company, you can apply for a registration online, verksamt.se , or by submitting the form (SKV 4620) to the Tax Agency.
Please note that you must apply for VAT registration before starting your business activities.
We strongly recommend that you speak with a tax professional. Here are a few suggestions:

Every Partner is unique and so are their specific tax circumstances. As such, the information on this page may not cover your tax needs and it should not be relied upon to replace you seeking independent tax advice. Above stated should not be considered as a tax advice, but as a general overview of relevant tax rules. Uber can’t provide you with tax advice for your individual situation, and therefore we strongly recommend speaking with a professional tax advisor to get tailored help and advice for your specific circumstances. The information on this page is for Swedish audiences only.
