Excise duty on alcohol is calculated in different ways, using various excise duty rates, depending on the types of alcohol goods in question.
Beer | |
---|---|
Alcohol by volume (% ABV) | Excise duty rate/litre and alcohol by volume (% ABV) |
Higher than 0.5 and no higher than 2.8 | SEK 0.00 |
Higher than 2.8 | SEK 2.28 |
Excise duty rate × % ABV × amount in litres = excise duty
Example: SEK 2.28 × 5.5% ABV × 4 litres = SEK 50.16
Wine and fermented beverages other than wine or beer | |
---|---|
Alcohol by volume (% ABV) | Excise duty rate/litre |
Higher than 1.2 and no higher than 2.25 | SEK 0.00 |
Higher than 2.25 and no higher than 4.5 | SEK 10.38 |
Higher than 4.5 and no higher than 7 | SEK 15.34 |
Higher than 7 and no higher than 8.5 | SEK 21.12 |
Higher than 8.5 and no higher than 15 | SEK 29.58 |
Higher than 15 and no higher than 18 *This excise duty class and excise duty rate only apply to wine. | SEK 61.90 |
Excise duty rate × amount in litres = excise duty
Intermediate products | |
---|---|
Alcohol by volume (% ABV) | Excise duty rate/litre |
Higher than 1.2 and no higher than 15 | SEK 37.34 |
Higher than 15 and no higher than 22 | SEK 61.90 |
Excise duty rate × amount in litres = excise duty
Ethyl alcohol | |
---|---|
Alcohol by volume (% ABV) | Excise duty rate/litre of pure alcohol |
Higher than 1.2 | SEK 526.97/litre of pure alcohol |
The amount in litres is converted to the amount of pure (100% ABV) alcohol, which is then multiplied by the excise duty rate per litre = excise duty.
Example 1: 25 litres of vodka with a strength of 40% ABV = 10 litres of pure alcohol (25 × 0.40)
10 litres of pure alcohol × SEK 526.97 = SEK 5,269.70
