Kommunalskatt

Municipal tax (kommunalskatt) is the income tax to the municipality (kommun) and the region, and the rate is stated on the pay slip and decided by the council. It is the main source of income for what the municipality and the region are responsible for, such as school, social care and health care. Since each council decides on its own tax rate, the municipal tax can differ between different municipalities and regions in the country.
