Capital Gains Tax / Gift Tax

Body

Hello!

I hope I'm placing this in the right forum!

I would appreciate some help with Swedish taxation and I hope it's OK if I explain this in English.

In short - Is the gift of money from my family abroad become liable to capital gains tax or a gift tax here in Sweden?

My parents in New Zealand have recently sold their home and we are discussing the possibility of the gifting to me a portion of the money from the sale of the family home to help my partner and I buy an apartment in Sweden. 

Will  I have to pay tax on the money when it arrives in Sweden? Or am I just liable for any capital gain the apartment makes when its time to sell?

Thank you.

 

 

 

Hello,

The gift is taxfree in Sweden. You will only be liable for Swedish tax on the capital gain when you sell the apartment.

Kind regards

Daniel
