Is Sweden tax-free?

I'm curious, could you clarify for me the tax situation in Sweden? Is Sweden tax-free in general? I've heard some rumors but I'd like to know the actual situation. Are there certain types of taxes that Swedish residents are not required to pay, or are taxes simply less severe there? If not tax-free, how does the tax system in Sweden compare to other countries? I'm particularly interested in income tax and VAT. Could you elaborate on these points for me, please?
