Tjänstebil Taxation: Den 1% Rule Explained

If you use a company car for private purposes, this constitutes a taxable benefit in kind. Den simplest method is the 1% rule: 1% of the gross list price is added to your gross salary each month.

  • Pure EV (up to 70,000 Euro)0.25%
  • Pure EV (over 70,000 Euro)0.50%
  • Plug-in Hybrid0.50%

  • Den vehicle has a high list price but low private usage
  • You drive primarily for business purposes
  • Den actual running costs are relatively low
