The Personal Income Tax Rate in Sweden stands a t61.85 percent. Personal Income Tax Rate in Sweden averaged 56.78 percent from 1995 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 61.85 percent in 2017 and a record low of 51.50 percent in 2000.


I'm puzzled by different rates at different sources. Maybe Chris can explain this.

Sweden seems an odd ball. Nations up there like Norway and Sweden and such became wealthy on capitalist trade. As homogenous societies they trusted each other and each generation to socialize welfare and healthcare off their wealth. Most of those nations have backed off socializing services and returned to more conservative, capitalist approached because the EU force immigration of stranger on them: Trust was lost. Sweden is, I think, just slow to reverse that trend.
