F-tax, VAT and employer registration

F-tax

F-tax (F-skatt) means the company is responsible for its own taxes and contributions. Without it, your customers may be obliged to withhold tax on what they pay you — which is why serious clients always ask for F-tax status. Apply as soon as the company is registered.

VAT

If the company sells VAT-liable goods or services it must register for VAT (moms) and report it on an ongoing basis — monthly, quarterly or yearly depending on turnover. Most businesses are VAT-liable; some sectors, such as healthcare and financial services, are exempt.

Employer registration

If the company will pay salaries — including to you as the owner — it must register as an employer. Employer contributions and withheld tax are then reported monthly.

Many new companies wait a few months before paying salary. You can register when the need arises, but note that salary from your AB is what builds your sickness-benefit and pension entitlements in Sweden.
