Where can you find Airbnbs in Sweden?
How to search on Airbnb, and what the Tax Agency says to hosts.
Short answer
Airbnb listings in Sweden are found on Airbnb's website by searching a destination, dates and number of guests. Hosts who rent out their home in Sweden must declare any surplus as capital income, even if Skatteverket receives data from the platform. Airbnb says hosts should check leases and building rules before hosting.
Why
- According to Airbnb's Swedish site, the search bar has the fields Var (where), När (when) and Vem (who), where you add a destination, dates and guests.
- According to Skatteverket, the tax on a surplus from renting out a private home is 30 percent, and you can usually make a standard deduction of SEK 40,000 per home.
- According to Airbnb, leases, contracts, building regulations and community rules sometimes restrict subletting or hosting.
Details
Skatteverket's page covers renting out a private home through digital platforms in general and does not name Airbnb. If you count as the landlord you report the full agreed rent, and if the platform counts as the landlord you report what you receive from it. Airbnb provides a free tax guide for hosts in Swedish and English. To start a search in the capital, see Stockholm, and for costs is Stockholm expensive.
Tip
Compare the total price for your dates with hotels in the same area, such as hotels and resorts in Stockholm.
What may differ
Rules for hosts depend on how the home is held: Airbnb says leases, building rules and housing association rules may restrict hosting, and Skatteverket says it matters whether you or the platform counts as the landlord.
Common misconception
Income from renting out your home on Airbnb in Sweden is tax free.
What actually happens
Skatteverket says a surplus from renting out a private home is taxed at 30 percent and must be declared as capital income, even if Skatteverket receives information from a digital platform.
