How the RUT deduction works

With the RUT deduction you pay half the labour cost of your move. The moving company deducts the amount directly on the invoice and claims the rest from the Swedish Tax Agency. At Pandy, prices are already shown after the deduction, and we handle the claim.

The ceiling is SEK 75,000 per person per year, shared with the ROT deduction (ROT at most SEK 50,000). If two of you are on the invoice, you can use up to SEK 150,000 together. The deduction can never exceed the tax you pay.

What qualifies for RUT when moving

  • Moving household goods between homes
  • Packing and unpacking
  • Loading, unloading and other preparation for transport
  • The working time for the transport itself
  • Moving to and from storage, if the storage is short-term and part of the move

What doesn't qualify

  • The moving van and fuel
  • Rent for storage
  • Materials, such as moving boxes and packing materials you buy

Worked example

The work on a move costs SEK 8,000 before the deduction. With the RUT deduction you pay SEK 4,000 for the work — the Tax Agency covers the rest. Costs that don't qualify, such as the van, you pay in full.

Want help packing? A packer at Pandy costs SEK 430 per hour after the RUT deduction and packs about 7–10 boxes an hour. See more price examples.

Move-out cleaning qualifies too

Move-out cleaning counts as cleaning and qualifies for the RUT deduction in the same way — window cleaning is included.

💡 Common questions about the RUT deduction when moving

Do movers qualify for the RUT deduction?

Yes, the labour cost does: packing, carrying, loading and the working time for transport. You pay 50% of the labour cost. The van and fuel don't qualify.

How much RUT deduction can you get per year?

Up to SEK 75,000 per person per year. The ceiling is shared with the ROT deduction, which can be at most SEK 50,000.

Do I have to claim the RUT deduction myself?

No. The moving company deducts the amount on the invoice and claims it from the Tax Agency. At Pandy we handle it for you.

Do moving boxes qualify for RUT?

No, materials don't qualify. If you book packing with Pandy, borrowing moving boxes and packing materials is included.

Is there a RUT deduction for storage?

For carrying and transport to and from the unit, yes — if the storage is short-term and part of the move. The rent for the unit doesn't qualify.

Ok, I am convinced.
