Six Reasons why an American learned to embrace paying taxes in Sweden
Description
Today’s episode is inspired by an article on vox.com from 2017 that I accidentally stumbled on. The title of the article is
I’m an American living in Sweden. Here’s why I came to embrace the higher taxes.
Tom Heberlein writes the article, and I have a link to the full article at the bottom of the show notes.
In the article, he says, “My wife and I have been dividing our time between jobs in Sweden and Wisconsin for the past dozen years, and I'm here to tell you that taxes in Sweden are not that high. To my surprise, I found that there are lots of things to love about the Swedish tax system.”
I will use his six reasons as a starting point to discuss the Swedish taxes, if they are as high as people assume, and look at some of the bigger differences between what you get for your taxes in Sweden compared to the US. I will only look at taxes from an individual perspective, not touching the subject of corporate taxes at all.
