E-sports in Stockholm: Support, facilities, and tax definition
Hanna Wistrand (L) and Mikael Peterson (C) questioned the Sports Committee on the state of e-sports in Stockholm, inquiring about available support and facilities, and the city's handling of the Tax Agency's definition of sport affecting e-sports clubs. The Sports Administration replied that e-sports clubs can apply for the same financial support and book facilities as other child and youth associations, but there are no facilities specifically adapted for e-sports currently. Furthermore, the administration stated that the Tax Agency's interpretation of the sports concept must be handled by the Swedish Sports Confederation and e-sports federations themselves, not by the municipality.
