Can I get RUT deductions for childcare?
Yes, you can claim the RUT deduction for childcare if the service is provided by an approved provider. This means that the cost can be significantly reduced, making it easier for more families to hire a nanny or access childcare assistance. The RUT deduction thus makes it easier to create a safer and more flexible everyday life for parents.
Important to know about nanny RUT deductions
The Swedish Tax Agency sends monthly notifications of how much ROT/RUT has been used. The amount is based on the date of the invoice, not on when the service was performed. If you have a nanny from Hey Kiddo, please inform the office if you are approaching the RUT ceiling. This way, we can help you shift the deduction to another adult in the household if necessary.
