Sweden Approves VAT Rate Reduction on Admission to Dance Events

Sweden has approved and published the Act amending the Value Added Tax Act (2023:200), which provides for a reduction in the VAT rate on admission to dance events from 25% to 6%. The rate for dance events is reduced to align it with the reduced rate already applied to other similar cultural events, such as theater, concerts, and opera, in order to foster social interaction and community life. The reduction in the VAT rate applies from 1 July 2026.
