Skatteskrapan ("The Tax Scraper") is a skyscraper in Stockholm, Sweden. It is located at Götgatan 76 in the district of Södermalm, in a block named Gamen ("The Vulture"). With a height of 81 metres and 25 floors, it was the tallest building in Sweden from its completion in 1959 to 1964 when it was surpassed by the 84 metres tall Dagens Nyheter Tower.
The building was designed by the architect Paul Hedqvist for the Swedish National Tax Board (hence its name Skatteskrapan). It served as the office of the Tax Board until 2003, when it was decided by then mayor of Stockholm Annika Billström that the building was to be rebuilt on the inside to turn the building into student appartments. Svenska Bostäder took over ownership of the building from its former host Vasakronan on 29 December 2003. The building is protected as a cultural landmark by the city of Stockholm, which means it can't be rebuilt on the outside.
The rebuilded scraper, which is built by Skanska and estimated for completion in August 2007, will have room for 415 student appartments as well as office and conference appartments on the top floors. In connection to the rebuilded scraper, a new seven floor-building will be built aside that will have 61 student appartments and 19 rented appartments. On the first and second floors of the scraper and the side building, there'll also be room for shops and restaurants. The official name of the new building complex will be Skrapan ("The Scraper").
