Home › How the ROT deduction works
Almost all our prices are shown after the ROT deduction — the amount you see is what you actually pay. Here are the terms in plain language: how much the deduction gives, who qualifies, and what happens if Skatteverket declines.
The ROT deduction gives a 30 per cent tax reduction on the labour cost, up to SEK 50,000 per person per year. If you jointly own the property, each owner has their own allowance — two owners can therefore deduct up to SEK 100,000 in a single year.
The deduction applies only to labour, never to materials or travel. In our fixed prices that split is already made: the price labelled “after ROT” is the sum you pay once the deduction has been applied.
We use the invoice model. The deduction is applied directly on the invoice, you pay the net amount, and we claim the remainder from Skatteverket. You only need to provide your personal identity number and property designation — if you live in a tenant-owned apartment, the association's organisation number and your apartment number instead.
You must own the property and use it as your permanent or holiday residence — a house, terraced house, tenant-owned apartment, or a holiday cottage you own. The property must be more than five years old, and you need remaining tax-reduction allowance for the year. Not sure of your allowance? It is shown under My Pages on the Skatteverket website.
Fault-finding and electrical inspections are checks and are not covered by ROT — but if remedial work is carried out during the visit, that work qualifies. Electrical work for newly built outbuildings, such as a garage or storage room being built from scratch, does not qualify either. The same applies to work in commercial premises and business properties.
Installation of an EV charger (laddbox) qualifies instead for the Green Technology deduction: 50 per cent tax reduction on both labour and materials, up to SEK 50,000 per person per year — a separate allowance that does not affect your ROT allowance. Here too, the deduction is applied directly on the invoice.
You are responsible for ensuring that the details you provide are correct and that you meet the conditions. Should Skatteverket fully or partially decline the payment, we will invoice the difference with ten days' payment terms. It is therefore wise to check your ROT allowance before booking larger jobs.
Yes, for electrical work inside the apartment you own. When booking, you provide the association's organisation number and your apartment number instead of the property designation.
Yes — you can use the ROT deduction for a holiday cottage you own, provided the property is more than five years old.
No, ROT applies only to the labour cost. Our fixed prices are already split into labour and materials, so the amount after ROT is correctly calculated from the outset.
The deduction is a tax reduction — if no allowance remains, you pay the full amount. Check your allowance on Skatteverket's My Pages before booking, or contact us and we will calculate the price without the deduction.
