1. Swedish Aviation Tax

Swedish Aviation Tax is levied on commercial flights carrying passengers and departing from a Swedish airport.

The tax rate depends on the passenger’s final destination. Flights to countries listed under Appendix 1 of the Aviation Tax Act pay 61 SEK per passenger (6 € or $ 7.50). Passengers travelling to countries listed under Appendix 2 are charged 255 SEK (25 € or $ 31.50). For destination countries neither listed in Appendix 1 or 2 of the Aviation Tax Act, the tax rate amounts to 408 SEK per chargeable passenger (40 € or $ 50).

More information about the Swedish Aviation Tax including liability, obligations and the list of the countries included in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 can be found here

IMPORTANT! It only applies to larger aircraft as aircraft with a seating capacity of 10 or less are exempt. Children under the age of two (infants) and 'transit PAX' are exempt from the calculations. Swedish Aviation Tax applies only to commercial trips.

Calculation based on PAX number

Example

Calculations based on PAX number

Please see screenshot on the right. The trip consists of 3 flights starts in EPWA and finishes in HECA. In the simplified version of the calculations, we only consider the flights starting in Sweden and looking at the destination band and the number of PAX flying. No actual PAX are assigned. There are 2PAX assigned to the flights from ESGG and 1PAX assigned to a flight from ESSA.

The calculation is as follow:

2 x SEK122 + 1 x SEK255 = SEK377

Explanation:

rates for the Sweden based airport of departure
2PAX departing from ESGG to ESSA - band 1 (2 x SEK122)
1PAX departing from ESSA to HECA - band 2 (1 x SEK255)

Calculations based on actual PAX

Calculation based on actual PAX

See screenshot on the right.

The trip starts with 1PAX in EPWA. For the tax calculations, 2PAX are assigned from the Swedish airport (ESGG) but only one of them reaches final destination located in band 2.

In such case the calculation is as follow:

1 x SEK255 = SEK255

Explanation:

1PAX starting at EPWA is not included in the calculation due to being considered as a transfer PAX (PAX that arrives to Sweden from a different country and continues on the journey)
1PAX joining at ESGG and departing the journey at HECA. This is band 2 charged at SEK255

Swedish Aviation Tax calculations are also available in the Report Wizard under the scope 'Trips'.
