    Seeking advice from Swedish webmasters

    Hello there

    Any swedish webmasters out there who can advise me on something?

    Was trying to find out about the whole TAX-thing - i.e when you get checks (usually from the U.S.) and deposit into swedish banks (I guess that's how most people do it).

    But... do you pay taxes? If so, what's the best way? I guess one alternative is to write it up as "Income, services" on the annual tax-declaration, but that would yield a huge lump sum of tax due for payment at the end of the year right? Or is it possible to deposit this money to the government little by little?

    Another alternative I guess is to start up a small company, but I'd rather not.

    Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated.

      Not sure how it works over in sweden, but if you run a small company, you'll still have to pay your taxes in a lump sum. That's how my parents do it at least.. I live in australia by the way. I'm not sure how things work over there in Sweden..

        Thanks for the BBS tip - found some info there (not exactly what I needed, but at least a ton of other people as clueless about it as myself, hehe)

        Regarding starting a company - I believe that here in Sweden you can open a special taxaccount and make payments to it during the year to avoid a large lump payment. When paying as a "person" I think the only option is the large end-of-the-year payment though.

        The hike through the info-jungle continues ....

                Well the only way to find out is to call them.
                Or talk to a revisor about it.

                  Got that right

                  Anyway, I did send them an anon email and got a few replies. As usual when dealing with our government however, they made little or no sense.

                  I read some horrorstories the other day about webmasters here who received payments that they didn't pay taxes for, so I guess somehow it has to be sorted out. I hear the banks cooperate closely with the taxdepartment in nailing people. (Fuckin fascists.. )

                  Will let ya know if I find any smooth way to handle it.

                    They found out that i cashed in some checks 2-3years ago. Now i can't get them off me. So it's 100% in the book from now on.. i suspect that my bank sent them the check transactions in some way.

                        Tror inte på dig davvve, dom har sten koll.
                        Ni som inte redan skattar bör sätta igång nu för de kommer hård kolla allt som plockas in från utlandet i år.

                          sett at du ikke tjener så jævla mye, skulle du vel ikke trenge å betale skatt, jeg får noen sjekker nå og da, men betaler ikke skatt, så lenge du ikke tjener så mye, merkes det nok ikke ;)

                            Förstår inte norska tror jag

                            I Sverige måste man betala skatt oavsett vad du tjänar, men är det under 8000 SEK per år så får man tillbaka det man betalade.

                              Hur funkar det då?
                              Dom har ju ingen aning eller?

                              Finns ju tusen banker i utlandet.

                                Nene,, ring skattemyndigheten i Karlstad och fråga.
                                Först fick jag vänta en vecka tills dom äntligen ringde upp mig, och då trodde dom att jag skulle betala moms i USA,,,,
                                dom har absolut ingen koll

                                  Vet inte hur det funkar, banken lämnar ju inte ut uppgifter till RSV om summan inte överstiger 75.000 kr per tillfälle.

                                  Man bör nog inte ta risken dock att försöka smita undan, inte just nu i alla fall. Jag hoppas bara att dom inte får nys om vår "bank historia". Då kan de gå åt helvete... Har som sagt hänt att man missat att skatta för någon check så där i bland ;)

                                                You should contact Ernst & Young. They will take care of almost anything for you! Here is a link to their swedish division:

                                                        30% inkomstskatt?
                                                        Sen kan man väl starta upp ett företag och betala arbetsgivaravgift på 40% också om man vill

                                                          sociala avgifter betalas alltid på det du tjänar
                                                          vanligtvis betalar din arbetsgivare det
                                                          men om du inte har någon arbetsgivare
                                                          skall du själv betala det.

                                                            men om man INTE har ett företag då,, ska man bara betala den vanliga skatten då?

                                                                    Känns som jag inte riktigt kommer bli av med dom. Kommer köra 100% på pappret nu så det går rätt till lika bra för man vill inte ha med dom att göra. Dom har varit hemma hos mig och kollat pärmar och papper.

                                                                                          AFAIK it's 70K. But how about this: Set up an account with an offshore bank (like Singapore) and cash the cheques there, and then pull it all out via ATMs in Sweden. No tax. No trace. I have spoken to a guy who knows about this in *Australia*, and he says with the volume of transactions via ATMs and the low amonuts, they have no way of tracing it all. They have bigger fish to fry.
