Taxation changes for start-ups considered

Currently, stock options in Sweden are taxed at a rate of up to 67%, making it difficult for companies to attract talent at early stages. The new tax breaks are considered for companies that are less than 50 people and net revenue or balance sheet total of no more than 80 million kronor. The proposal is waiting for an approval by the European Commission and upon the approval will go into force on January 1, 2018.
