How Your Municipality Affects Your Net Salary
Municipal tax, which consists of both municipal and regional tax, varies by several percentage points depending on where in the country you live and are registered. The difference can add up to several thousand kronor a year for the same gross salary.
The tax rate is set by each municipal and regional council and is influenced, among other things, by how much the municipality needs to fund welfare services such as schools, healthcare and social care, as well as the size of the local tax base.
