First, an explanation.

In Sweden, your total local tax rate consists of two parts: the tax you pay to the municipality (kommun) where you live and the region (landsting). So if you for example live in Malmö, your taxes go to Malmö City Council and are used to fund, for example, schools, and Region Skåne, which is responsible for healthcare.

National tax is only paid on annual income over a certain amount – this was 490,700 kronor ($52,400) in 2019, but due to deduction rules you can earn a fair bit more without actually having to pay state tax.

This article only looks at the total local tax rates, which are set to increase next year.
