If you are visiting Sweden and reside in a country outside of the EU (third country), you can recover the VAT on the goods you purchased in Sweden if you take the goods with you out of the EU.
Special rules apply for visitors from Norway or the Åland Islands.
You always pay VAT when you make a purchase. When leaving Sweden, you can get your VAT refunded either by a certification agent or the retail outlet where you purchased the goods.
You must have a passport or equivalent identification that shows that you reside in a third country.
