| Sweden
Sweden is located in North Europe and borders with the Baltic Sea, Norway and Finland. Sweden has kept its neutrality during the two world wars and is leading a unique and successful economic formula combining social welfare with a technologically advanced, capitalist system. This policy leads, from time to time, to fairly high unemployment rates. Sweden is part of the EU; however, it did not adopt the Euro currency.
According to the Tax Treaty between Israel and Sweden, dividends paid by an Israeli company to a Swedish one, are exempt from withholding taxes. This is a unique clause that exists only in a very few Tax Treaties Israel has signed.
