Specific Swedish Tax Regulations:

• F-Tax: The Swedish parliament implemented changes to tax laws effective from January 1, 2021, to ensure equality between Swedish and foreign service providers. The new rules stipulate that a Swedish company must withhold a provisional tax of 30% on payments to foreign companies for work done in Sweden, unless the foreign company is registered for F-tax (F-tax) in the Skatteverket system. To register for F-tax, legal entities must prove with a tax debt certificate from the Revenue Service, no older than three months, that the company has no debts in the country where it was established. Registering for F-tax alone, without establishing a company in Sweden, means that the services provided by the company in Sweden will not be subject to tax. Lex & Finance specialists will provide consultation and support in these matters.
• SINK: "SINK" in Swedish stands for "Särskild Inkomstskatt för utomlands bosatta," which translates to "Special Income Tax for Foreign Residents" in English. SINK is a Swedish tax regime intended for individuals who are not Swedish tax residents but earn income in Sweden. It primarily applies to foreign residents or non-residents who derive income from specific Swedish sources, such as employment or other activities.

It's important to note that SINK is not applicable to all foreign residents but is mainly intended for individuals working temporarily in Sweden or earning certain types of income. The application of SINK can also be influenced by tax treaties between Sweden and other countries. Contact our specialists to learn more.
