Conditions for RUT deductions
We reserve the right to invoice the remaining amount, corresponding to the tax reduction, if the request from the Tax Agency is rejected. In order for you to be able to take part in the RUT deduction, you need to fullfill a number of conditions and provide correct information to the supplier you have hired. The Rut deduction are added together and is a total of a maximum of SEK 75,000 per person and year. It is your income and how many other deductions you make that govern how much you can get in deduction. You, as the buyer, are responsible for ensuring that all conditions for the root and square deduction are met.
