Financial Law addresses legal rules imposing tax obligations on  private persons, companies and other entities towards the state and the local government. There exists a variety of taxes, for example, income tax, VAT, real property tax, wealth tax, inheritance tax, gifts tax, etc. The rules specify, for example, the way in which tax shall be calculated by different persons (by estimating the taxation object, e.g. a given person’s income, his or her assets, etc.), when these persons shall pay it, etc. The taxation procedure is also very well regulated with regard to, for example, filing income tax returns, tax payments, tax authorities’ decisions, possibility of appeal to the court, etc. The comparison of  Sweden’s and other countries’ taxation laws constitutes an issue of ever-growing importance in the field of financial law.
