What activities can I use the wellness allowance for?

It's great that you're excited to use your wellness allowance! For more inspiration, feel free to check out the Epassi Blog!

You can use it for a wide variety of activities that are approved according to the Swedish Tax Agency’s rules.

Here are some examples of approved wellness activities: 

• Gym and group training 
• Running and fitness races
• Massage and preventive treatments such as smoking cessation, stress management 
• Nutritional counseling and health consultations 
• Activities such as bowling, go-karting, agility, and trail riding.

For activities without elements of exercise, such as massage, nutrition counseling, and health consultations, the activity may cost a maximum of 1,000 SEK per session to be considered of less value and tax-free

The following examples are NOT approved as wellness activities: 

• Membership fees and licenses: Only the cost of the actual activity can be covered.
• Buying or renting equipment: You cannot use the allowance to buy or rent equipment. 
• Beauty treatments: Cosmetic treatments are not approved. 
• Healthcare: Health care or medical treatments are not approved. 
• Spa entry: Spa entry is not approved (unless it’s already included for free in a wellness service). 
• Pool tables, e-sports, and adventure swimming pools are not approved. 
• Purchases for others: The benefit is personal and cannot be used for someone else. 
• Solarium: Solarium is not approved as it is considered beauty care by the Swedish Tax Agency. 
• Naprapathy, chiropractic, physiotherapy: Treatments by physiotherapists, naprapathy, and chiropractic are not approved.
