So you cannot do any deductions for things like travelling to work. And is the tax scale linear so if you get sick you should not pay less tax? In Sweden even if you do not have any deductions the tables or formulas used by the employer is not so exact (maybe depending on missing input data) so it is common to get a small amount back .
