Why is the VAT so high this year?
Sweden has a standard VAT rate of 25%, which is relatively high compared to many other countries due to Sweden’s social welfare system, which funds healthcare, education and infrastructure. VAT is one of the key sources of revenue for these government services. The EAIE has worked on minimising the impact of this cost by reducing the conference fees. However, the increase is beyond our control and in compliance with Swedish tax laws.
Why do I need to register for the Opening Reception?
From this year onward, we are introducing a small registration fee for the Opening Reception. We are thrilled to bring you an awe-inspiring networking event in a fantastic location, and with this small fee, we can organise an even better event.
Will there be day tickets?
