About RUT deduction

RUT deduction is a tax reduction for household services such as cleaning, window cleaning, gardening and other household services. RUT stands for "Rengöring, Underhåll och Tvätt" (Cleaning, Maintenance and Laundry).

The deduction was introduced to make it easier and cheaper for private individuals to purchase household services, while also counteracting black market work and creating more jobs in the industry.

You can get a tax reduction of 50% of the labor cost for RUT services. The maximum deduction is SEK 75,000 per person per year.

Note that the deduction only applies to the labor cost – not materials or travel costs. At Sweepit, materials and travel are therefore specified separately from the labor cost, so the RUT deduction is correctly applied only to the labor portion in accordance with Skatteverket's rules.

The following services from Sweepit qualify for RUT deduction:

• Home cleaning
• Deep cleaning
• Moving cleaning
• Window cleaning
• Viewing cleaning
• Vacation service

Note! RUT deduction only applies to private individuals and work performed in your residence. Business and office cleaning are not covered by the RUT deduction.
