Swedish Income Taxes
GENERAL INFORMATION
All individuals working in Sweden must pay income tax on their gross salary. In Sweden salaries are quoted after deductions of so-called Employer costs.
Social Security Contribution (Ssc) of 31,42% and the monthly accumulation of vacation pay of 12% (equivalent of 25 days of paid vacation per year) are both added on top of the gross salary, increasing the actual cost of employment.
This effectively means, that the monthly employment cost of a single individual is much higher than what´s stated as the gross salary. It also means that to achieve a certain monthly gross salary a freelancer/consultant always must take the employer cost into account, when quoting an hourly or daily rate for their work.
DEDUCTIONS
The most common way to increase retention when working on Normal or Expert taxation scheme in Sweden, is to make tax deductions for Dual Household and Travels to/from foreign residency.
If the contractor keeps his/her residency in the home country, it is possible to deduct the cost for temporary residence in Sweden, and travels between the home and the residency/work site in Sweden. The sum of these costs is then used as a deduction when calculating the salary tax level
