Do you have a non-Swedish business with employees in Sweden?

Employee tax, social security, and employer reporting obligations for foreign businesses in Sweden

Sweden is a prosperous country with well-performing economy, robust banking system and strong public finances, which makes Sweden one of the best countries for doing business. 

Through a long-term focus on education and research, a tradition of creativity and innovation as well as extensive welfare benefits, Sweden offers a safe and thriving environment for business and career development. However, it can be difficult to navigate through all the applicable rules and obligations connected to tax, and that is why we are here to assist you.
