how bad are those mentioned taxes over there?
Ask and you will receive:
In Sweden taxable income belongs to one of three categories: earned income from employment, income from capital or income from business.
Income from employment
The following taxes are levied on earned income:
local tax at a rate of 26-35 percent (depending on the municipality),
national income tax of 20-25 percent on annual taxable earnings.
Income from capital
Generally speaking all income in this category is taxed at a rate of 30 percent regardless of the amount. Examples of income from capital are dividends, interest, capital gains arising from the sale of stocks, bonds, real estate, personal property and other similar assets plus income from the rental of flats or houses unless this is undertaken as a business activity.
Income from business
The regulations governing taxation of business activity are largely the same for limited companies and businesses operated by individuals. As a general rule, all income from business activities is liable to taxation. Income from capital is considered as part of the business activity if it is generated by capital invested in the business.
The tax rates for individuals engaged in business activities are the same as those for income from employment. On the other hand, limited companies pay only 28 percent of their taxable income in tax.
