How to fill in the PAYE tax return per employee – Box by box
This information explains how to fill in the PAYE tax return per employee in the PAYE Tax Return service, which you can find on My Pages (Mina sidor).
Our e-services
File PAYE tax returns per employee via the PAYE Tax Return service on My Pages (Mina sidor).
If you have nothing to report
If you have nothing to report for a particular accounting period, you must still file a PAYE tax return as long as you are registered as an employer. Then, in the service Arbetsgivardeklaration on Mina sidor, you can choose: ”Deklarera noll” ("I have nothing to report for this period"). The service then creates a zeroed out PAYE tax return.
Information about employees (or other payees)
Report information per person – known as individual statements – under the Payee tab in the PAYE tax return.
When you add a payee, you can choose which boxes you want to view by selecting e.g. Remuneration that is included in the basis for employer’s contributions, or payees that are enterprises. To view all the boxes, select the View all fields option.
The same applies if you are copying a payee from an earlier period, in which case you will only see the boxes that you filled in during that period.
You can always select the View all fields option.
Add payee
To add a payee, click on Add payee. You can add payees via one of the following three options:
- personal identification number, coordination number or corporate identification number
- date of birth
- other identity.
Personal identification, coordination or corporate identification number
215 – Personal identification, coordination or corporate identification number
Enter the 10 digits of the payee’s correct and full personal identification, coordination or corporate identification number here.
If the payee 100 years old or older, you must enter the personal identification number with 12 consecutive digits, without spaces.
It is important that you enter correct information, since the per employee details form the basis for what information the payee receives as pre-filled information on his or her tax return. Deducted taxes are also recognised in connection with the payee on the basis of the individual statements. It is important that the personal identification, coordination or corporate identification number is entered correctly.
570 – Statement number
Enter the statement number here. You must always fill in the statement number, even if you are only providing one individual statement per payee.
There may not be more than one individual statement with the same statement number for one individual payee, accounting period and employer. However, you may provide several reports for the same payee, but they must have different statement numbers.
You yourself decide the format of the statement number. The statement number may not contain more than 10 digits. Do not use zero (0). Otherwise there are no requirements as to the numbering.
060 – Workplace number
Employers who conduct operations at more than one workplace must fill in a workplace number.
This information is collected for Statistics Sweden (SCB) and used for statistics on occupation and salary amounts. By linking the employees to a particular workplace that is in the Statistics Sweden’s Business Register (Företagsdatabasen), employed persons can be grouped by region and industry.
If you conduct operations at more than one workplace and do not have a list of the workplaces and workplace numbers, contact Statistics Sweden (SCB) to obtain them.
062 – Reduced employer contributions, first employees
Place an x in this box if you meet the requirements for special calculation of certain fees for a first employee, known as Growth Support. You are only entitled to claim the first-employee reduced rate of employer contributions for two payees. This was limited to one payee until 1 July 2021.
If you have received support of minor importance, you must also fill in box 462 – Support of minor importance
303 – The payee is not covered by the non-Swedish employer’s permanent establishment in Sweden
If you are a non-Swedish employer in Sweden, you should place an x in this box if compensation for work paid to the payee is not borne by your permanent establishment in Sweden.
If you do not have the payee’s personal identification number, coordination number or corporate identification number
If you do not know the payee’s full personal identification, coordination or corporate identification number, contact the Swedish Tax Agency, which can help you retrieve the number.
If it is not possible to obtain a full personal identification, coordination or corporate identification number for the payee, you should first fill in 222 – Date of birth. If you do not have the date of birth of the payee, you must fill in 224 – Other identity. Both boxes must be coordinated with either 218 – Street address, 219 – Postal code and 220 – City or town, or 230 – Free address and 221 – Country code, city or town.
Date of birth and Other identity
If it is not possible to obtain a full personal identification, coordination or corporate identification number for the payee, add on via one of the options Date of birth or Other identity.
222 – Date of birth
If you do not have the payee’s personal identification or coordination number, enter the date of birth here.
Enter the date of birth in the format YYYYMMDDnnn. You need to write three optional numbers after year, month and day.
224 – Other identity
If you do not have any information for 215 – Personal identification/coordination/corporate identification numbers and 222 – Date of birth, enter any number here. There is no specific format requirement except that such a number may contain at most 50 characters.
If the payee is an enterprise, you could enter in the enterprise’s foreign corporate identification number, for example. You must also enter the payee’s organisation name in box 226 – Organisation name.
216 – Given name
Enter the payee’s given name here if you do not have the payee’s full personal identification number, coordination number or corporate identification number.

This box is used if extra space is needed – for example, to include a c/o address.
230 – Free address
In this box, enter foreign addresses that cannot be divided into street address, postal code and city or town. You must always combine free address with box 221 – Country code, city or town, but you may also combine with other fixed address fields.

Enter the city or town here if you do not have the payee’s full personal identification number, coordination number or corporate identification number.
221 – Country code, city or town

226 – Organisation name
If the payee is a foreign enterprise that does not have a Swedish corporate identification number, state the name of the company or the organisation. You must also provide a different identification number in box 224 – Other identity.
Tax
At the payee level, there are seven boxes to indicate deducted tax or why tax deductions should not be made. In order to submit a PAYE tax return with individual statements, you must have filled in one of these boxes for each individual statement; however, you may not fill in more than one box in this block.
Remuneration to a payee who is subject to different rules on tax deductions during the same accounting period
If you have paid remuneration to a payee who is subject to different tax deduction rules during the same accounting period, you must provide one individual statement per tax field. To ensure that the individual statements do not replace each other, it is important that they have different statement numbers.
This may be relevant if, during the calendar month, the employee goes from working in Sweden to working for a significant period in another country and should therefore not pay tax in Sweden on his or her foreign income. In such a case, the Swedish Tax Agency has decided that, as an employer, you must not make any tax deduction because the employee is not to be taxed for this income in Sweden.
You should then report the following:
- an individual statement with the salary for the work carried out in Sweden and any tax deduction made
- another individual statement with the salary for the work carried out in the other country and place an x in box “276 – Decision of no tax deduction because income is not to be taxed in Sweden”, in consideration of the six-month rule.
It is important that the two individual statements have different statement numbers.
If you have not made any tax deductions
If you have not made any tax deductions for a particular remuneration paid, you must enter 0 in one of the boxes for tax deductions or place an x in one of the boxes that explains why a tax deduction should not be made.
The exception is if you report for a company that does not have a permanent establishment in Sweden: in such a case, you should not make a tax deduction. In this case, you must not fill in any of the boxes under tax on the Payee tab. If you have made a tax deduction, the tax deducted should only be reported on the PAYE tax return if it was paid to the Swedish Tax Agency.
001 – Preliminary tax deducted
In this box enter preliminary tax deducted from salary, pension and other remuneration.
274 – Tax deducted, SINK
In this box, enter deducted special income tax for non-residents (SINK) if you have received a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency indicating that the rules on special income tax for non-residents are applicable.
275 – Tax deducted, A-SINK
In this box, enter deducted special income tax for non-resident artists (A-SINK). If you have reported in this box you must also fill in box 112 – Nature of the operations.
114 – Tax-exempt under tax treaty
Place an x here in the case of income from work performed in a Nordic country other than Sweden and paid for by a foreign employer and no tax deduction has been made since the income is not to be taxed in Sweden under the Nordic tax treaty.
Also place an x here if the income comes from work performed in Sweden but that is not to be taxed in Sweden, under a tax treaty, Special Income Tax for Artists who are Foreign Residents (A-SINK).
253 – Local employee
Place an x here if you are a Swedish employer and have paid remuneration to an employee who resides and works in another country – known as a local employee.
094 – Employee of a foreign delegation in Sweden who, under a tax agreement, is liable to pay tax in the country of the delegation
Place an x here if the payee is employed at a foreign delegation in Sweden and is liable to pay tax in the country of delegation as per a tax agreement. This could be embassy staff, for example, who must not pay tax in Sweden but rather in the country of the embassy.
276 – Decision not to make tax deduction because the income is not taxable in Sweden
Place an x here if you have received a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency stating that a tax deduction must not be carried out on account of foreign employment. For example, this could be when the six-month rule is applicable or if the work is performed for a Swedish employer in another Nordic country.
If you place an x in this box, you must also fill in box 091 – Employee temporarily posted abroad.
Remuneration that is included in the basis for employer’s contributions and Special payroll tax on earned income (SLF)
Here, enter remuneration that is included in the basis for employer’s contributions or special payroll tax on earned income.
011 – Cash gross salary, etc.
Here, enter cash remuneration paid for labour, such as gross salary, that is included in the basis for employer’s contributions. You must not enter benefits in this box.
Benefits that are included in the basis for employer’s contributions
Benefits are non-cash, taxable remuneration that an employee may receive from his or her employer. For example, a car benefit or a meal benefit.
If the employee has paid for the benefit via a net salary deduction, you must reduce the benefit value by the amount of the employee’s payment before you fill in the box. The actual net salary payment is not to be reported to the Swedish Tax Agency.
The general rule is that a benefit should be reported in the period during which the beneficiary has been able to use it. In other words, if the employee has received a benefit in January, it must be reported in the PAYE tax return relating to January, which you submit in February.
For certain benefits, where you as an employer do not know the value of the benefit at the time of the relevant salary payment, the reporting of the benefit may be delayed one or a maximum of two months. For example, this may be the case when you only learn about the benefit when the employee submits a travel expenses form.
Delaying reporting may occur in special cases, and should not be applied generally when you report benefits.
013 – Taxable car benefit
Here, enter the value of the car benefit (except fuel). When you are valuing a car benefit, consider a portion of a month as a full month.
If the payee has had the use of two or more company cars simultaneously, report the total value of the car benefits.
If you have paid out car reimbursement for employment-related travel using a company car, you must also place an x in box 050 – Car remuneration.
If the payee has paid for the benefit via a net salary deduction, deduct the employee’s payment when you calculate the value of the benefit. If the value is zero (0) after the reduction, enter a zero (0) in box 013.
If you, as an employer, have applied for and received a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency regarding adjustment of a car benefit, report the adjusted value in this box and place an x in box 048 – Benefit has been adjusted.
018 – Fuel for a company vehicle
Here, enter the benefit of free or partly free fuel in connection with a company vehicle. When reporting the benefit in the individual statement, value it at the market value x 1.2. It is the marked-up value that you should enter here. The market value must not be reported in the PAYE tax return.
The Swedish Tax Agency calculates the employer contributions automatically from the market value without marking up. If you calculate the employer contributions yourself, value the free fuel at the market value without marking up.
Net salary deductions and fuel benefit since 2021
Even if the employee paid for their fuel benefit through net salary deductions, you must still declare the total marked-up value of this benefit in box 018.
Example 1
Company vehicle: SEK 2,500
Market value of fuel benefit: SEK 1,000
The employee’s payment for this benefit through net salary deductions: SEK 1,000
Box 013: SEK 2,500
Box 018: SEK 1,200
(market value SEK 1,000 × 1.2)
Box 098: SEK 1,000
In the example above, the employee is only taxed on the marked-up amount above the market value: i.e. SEK 200.
Example 2
Company vehicle: SEK 2,500
Market value of fuel benefit: SEK 1,000
The employee’s payment for this benefit through net salary deductions: SEK 1,200

Box 018: SEK 1,200
(market value SEK 1,000 × 1.2)

In the example above, the employee has paid for their fuel benefit in its entirety (the market value of the fuel plus the marked-up amount).
098 – Company vehicle: payments for fuel
Here, please enter the amount the payee has paid for company-vehicle fuel through net salary deductions. Even if the employee has paid their fuel benefit, you must declare the total marked-up value of this benefit in box 018. Please declare the net salary deduction in box 098.
Example 1
Company vehicle: SEK 2,500
Market value of fuel benefit: SEK 1,000
The employee’s payment for this benefit through net salary deductions: SEK 1,000
Box 013: SEK 2,500
Box 018: SEK 1,200
(market value SEK 1,000 x 1.2)
Box 098: SEK 1,000
In the example above, the employee is only taxed on the marked-up amount above the market value, i.e. SEK 200.
Example 2
Company vehicle: SEK 2,500
Market value of fuel benefit: SEK 1,000
The employee’s payment of this benefit through net salary deductions: SEK 1,200

Box 098: SEK 1,200
In the example above, the employee has paid for their benefit in its entirety (the market value plus the marked-up amount).
012 – Other taxable benefits
Here, report the total value of benefits other than car benefit and free fuel benefit in the case of a car benefit, which are included in the basis for employer’s contributions. For example, these might include free meal benefit, accommodation, holiday accommodation, telephone, ROT (Repairs, Conversion and Extension) and RUT (Cleaning, Maintenance and Laundry) work, free newspapers, free parking garage, free parking or interest benefit. If a payee has received fuel benefit without also having a car benefit, report the market value of the free fuel benefit.
If the payee has paid for the benefit via a net salary deduction, deduct the employee’s payment when you calculate the value of the benefit. If the value is zero (0) after the reduction, enter a zero (0) in box 012.
If you, as an employer, have applied for and received a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency regarding adjustment of the benefit value for meals or accommodation, report the adjusted value in this box and place an x in box 048 – Benefit has been adjusted.

When this occurs, you must report the total taxable remuneration in the accounting period in which this becomes known.

For certain benefits, where you as an employer do not know the value of the benefit at the time of the relevant salary payment, the reporting of the benefit may be delayed one or a maximum of two months.

Delaying reporting may occur in special cases, and should not be applied generally when you report benefits.

The employment pension paid to former employees or their survivors is reported here. Pension payments must be reported in a PAYE tax return per employee in the same way as wages and other remuneration.

This also applies if, as the employer, you have hired a pension administrator who pays out the pension on your behalf.
For more information, see the Swedish Tax Agency’s position:

Set out below is an explanation of how to manage remuneration that is normally liable to tax, but that is non-taxable due to the threshold.
Remuneration code 113, Remuneration from insurance companies, income from employment 1.1
Report the portion that is liable to tax here, and non-taxable remuneration that you would otherwise have reported under remuneration code 113 should be reported in box 131 – Cash remuneration that is not included in the basis for social security contributions.
If an amount you have reported in box 113 becomes liable to tax, you must either report it in box 010 or correct earlier periods. For further information, see box 010, and also here:
Remuneration code 121, Financial career readjustment support and a guaranteed income to former Members of the Swedish Parliament and the European Parliament, which is considered equivalent to income from employment 1.1
Report the portion that is liable to tax here, and non-taxable remuneration that you would otherwise have reported under remuneration code 121 should be reported in box 131 – Cash remuneration that is not included in the basis for social security contributions.
Remuneration code 440: AGS etc. that is included in the basis for special payroll tax on earned income
Report the portion that is liable to tax here, and non-taxable remuneration that you would otherwise have reported under remuneration code 440 should be reported in box Remuneration code 443: Non-taxable AGS, Severance grant (AGB), One-time amount according to TFA etc.
Remuneration code 441: Severance grant (AGB) and similar. One-time amount according to TFA etc. 1.4

Remuneration that is included in the basis for employee contributions
Remuneration that is included in the basis for employee contributions includes income from employment for recipients who are registered for F-tax (business tax) and remuneration of less than SEK 10,000 from a private individual.
125 – Cash remuneration
Report cash remuneration that is included in the basis for employee contributions here.
Benefits
The general rule is that a benefit should be reported in the period during which the beneficiary has been able to use it. In other words, if the employee has received a benefit in January, it must be reported in the PAYE tax return relating to January, which you submit in February.
For certain benefits, where you as an employer do not know the value of the benefit at the time of the relevant salary payment, the reporting of the benefit may be delayed one or a maximum of two months. For example, this may be the case when you only learn about the benefit when the employee submits a travel expenses form.
Delaying reporting may occur in special cases, and should not be applied generally when you report benefits.
127 – Taxable car benefit
Here, enter the value of a taxable car benefit, without fuel, which is included in the basis for employee contributions. If the employee has paid for the benefit via a net salary deduction, deduct the amount paid by the employee when you calculate the value of the benefit.
128 – Fuel benefit , when car benefit is provided
Here, enter any free fuel benefit given in addition to car benefit that is included in the basis for employee contributions. Calculate the benefit value by multiplying the market value by 1.2. If the payee has paid for the benefit via a net salary deduction, deduct the employee’s payment when you calculate the value of the benefit.
If you have filled in the fuel benefit box, you must also fill in box 127 – Taxable car benefit, even if the benefit is SEK 0.
126 – Other taxable benefits
Here, enter the total value of taxable benefits other than car benefit and fuel benefit in the case of car benefit, which are included in the basis for employee contributions.
123 – Housing benefit, one-and two-family dwellings
Place an x here if the employee has a housing benefit that is included in the basis for employee contributions for a residence that is in a one or two-family dwelling and is not a vacation residence. Enter the value of the benefit in box 126 – Other taxable benefits.
124 – Housing benefit, not one-and two-family dwellings
Place an x here if the employee has a housing benefit that is included in the basis for employee contributions for a residence that is not in a one or two-family dwelling and is not a vacation residence. Enter the value of the benefit in box 126 – Other taxable benefits.
Merchant marine employee information
Fill in the boxes for merchant marine employee information if you have paid remuneration to a sailor for work on board any of the following:
- a Swedish vessel that the Swedish Tax Agency has classified for short sea shipping or deep sea shipping
- a trading vessel that is registered in a shipping register in a state other than Sweden within the European Economic Area (EEA).
Marine income entitles the recipient to the marine income deduction and the tax credit for marine income. You must fill in all of the boxes on marine employee information.
026 – Ship signal
Enter the vessel’s ship signal as four characters here. If the ship signal has more than four characters, enter the four first characters. The ship signal is an international identity of the vessel that you can find in the notice of vessel classification that the Swedish Tax Agency issues at the beginning of every year. This information is essential for the calculation of the marine income deduction and you must always state the ship signal, even for work on board a foreign vessel.
027 – Number of days with marine income
Enter the number of days with marine income in short sea shipping or deep sea shipping here. Always provide this information, as it is essential for the calculation of e.g. the marine income deduction.
All days carrying entitlement to some form of remuneration from the employer for employment on board a vessel are included in the number of days with marine income.
028 – Short sea shipping/Deep sea shipping
Here, state whether the vessel is used in short sea shipping or deep sea shipping. This information can be found in the notice of vessel classification that the Swedish Tax Agency issues at the beginning of every year. You must also state this for work on board a foreign vessel (EEA trading vessel). This information is essential for the calculation of e.g. the marine income deduction.
223 – The name of the vessel
You must fill in the name of the vessel to ensure the correct marine income deduction etc. The name supplements the information on the ship signal.
Tax credit for ROT work (Repairs, Conversion and Extension) or RUT work (Cleaning, Maintenance and Laundry)
If you have an employee who has had the benefit of ROT (Repairs, Conversion and Extension) or RUT (Cleaning, Maintenance and Laundry) work and the conditions for tax reduction exist, you as an employer must report the basis for the tax reduction. Report the basis in this part of the PAYE tax return.
The basis for tax reduction does not always correspond to the value of the benefit of ROT or RUT work. You may only include labour costs in the basis for the tax reduction. You may not include costs for materials, equipment and travel, even though those costs must be recognised when you value the benefit.
If the employee has paid all or part of the benefit value with his or her net salary, you must deduct that amount when you calculate the value of the benefit. When you state the basis for the tax reduction, on the other hand, always state the value without deductions.
021 – Basis of tax credit for RUT (Cleaning, Maintenance and Laundry) work
Here, enter the basis of a tax credit for RUT (Cleaning, Maintenance and Laundry) work, such as the labour cost for cleaning, landscaping, moving, etc.

Here, enter the market rent remuneration that you have paid to the employee that is to be declared as income from capital. This could be reimbursement for rental of a garage or storage space in the residence.
If the rent remuneration is higher than market-level but all other conditions are met, report the market-level portion in this box and the surplus portion as salary, usually in box 011 – Cash remuneration.
Operations
112 – The nature of the operations (A-SINK)
Here, enter the type of operations to which the remuneration refers if you have a payee who has limited tax liability and is to be taxed under the Special Income Tax on Non-resident Artists Act (A-SINK).
Benefits, other
048 – Benefit has been adjusted
Place an x here if you as an employer have received a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency to the effect that the benefit value is to be adjusted for the payee. This applies regardless of whether the benefit entered is included in the basis for employer’s contributions, the basis for employee contributions, or whether it is not included in the basis for social security contributions. If you have placed an x in this box, you must report the adjusted benefit value in one of the following boxes:
- Other taxable benefits
- Taxable car benefit.
For example, if you have received a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency regarding adjustment of the value of a car benefit that is included in the basis for employer’s contributions, place an x in box 048 – Adjusted benefit, and report the adjusted value in box 013 – Car benefit.
059 – Employee stock options that are not to be taxed as a benefit and that have been exercised to acquire shares
Special tax breaks exist for employees who acquire shares in companies, known as qualified employee stock options. By placing an x in this box, you are indicating that this type of employee stock option, which is not to be taxed as a benefit, has been exercised to acquire shares.
Information about you as an employer (or another payer)
Here, enter the information that must be reported at employer level. Please note that you should not enter the total tax deduction (497) or employer’s contributions to pay (487) in the service. These are calculated automatically from the information you report in the PAYE tax return.
However, if you are submitting the PAYE tax return on a form, you must fill in boxes 497 and 487.
Information to the Social Insurance Agency
499 – Sick pay cost
Enter the sick pay costs that you have incurred during the month here. In turn, the Swedish Tax Agency notifies the Social Insurance Agency insurance Fund about your sick pay costs and payroll costs. Based on this information, the Social Insurance Agency calculates once a year whether you are entitled to compensation. This is called Compensation for high sick pay costs.
Fill in the costs you are required to pay under the Sick Pay Act. This means:
- Costs for days 1–14 of the sick-pay period of not more than 80 per cent of the salary and other employment benefits.
- Employer’s contributions on the sick pay must be included in the calculation. Remember that the fees vary according to the employee’s age.
