File PAYE returns per employee via the PAYE Return service on My Pages ("Mina sidor").
If you have nothing to report
If you have nothing to report for a particular reporting period, you must still file a PAYE return as long as you are registered as an employer. Then, in the PAYE return e-service ("Lämna arbetsgivardeklaration") on My Pages ("Mina sidor"), you can choose: ”Deklarera noll” (I have nothing to report for this period). The e-service then creates a zeroed out PAYE return.
As an employer, you must provide certain details about your employees’ periods of absence from work
From the January 2025 reporting period, as an employer you must provide details about employees’ periods of absence from work that might qualify them for parental benefit or temporary parental benefit. You provide details about each individual employee’s absence in a dedicated section when you file your PAYE return to the Swedish Tax Agency. We then pass the information on to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency who checks and controls parental benefits.

Information about employees (or other payees)
Report information per person – known as individual statements – under the "Payee" tab in the PAYE return.
When you add a payee, you can choose which fields you wish to view by selecting, for example, remuneration included in the basis for employer contributions, or payees that are enterprises. To view all the fields, select the "View all fields" option.
If you are copying a payee from previous period, you will only see the fields that you filled in for that period. To see the others, you again 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 identification options:

It is important that you enter the details correctly, since they form the basis for the pre-filled information in the payee´s tax return. The payee´s deducted tax is also calculated on the basis of the individual statements. It is particularly important that the personal identity number, coordination number or corporate identity number is entered correctly.
If a person with a coordination number is assigned a personal identity number during the period, or if an individual receives a new personal identity number, the return must be completed using only the new number – regardless of when during the period the new personal identity number was assigned. You do not need to change any details for information that has already been submitted.

Tax
At the payee level, there are seven boxes in which to specify deducted preliminary tax or indicate why preliminary tax should not be deducted. In order to submit a PAYE return with individual statements, you must fill in one of these boxes for each individual statement. However, you must not fill in more than one box in this block.
Compensation to a payee who is subject to different rules on deducted preliminary tax during the same reporting period
If you have paid compensation to a payee who is subject to different rules on deducted preliminary tax during the same reporting period, you must provide one individual statement per tax field. To ensure that one individual statement does not replace another, it is important that they have different statement numbers.
This may be relevant if, during a calendar month, an employee who has been working in Sweden begins working for a significant period in another country and should not therefore pay tax in Sweden on their income from abroad. The Swedish Tax Agency has decided that, in such cases, employers must not deduct any preliminary tax since the employee is not liable to pay tax on this income in Sweden.
You should submit the following:
- an individual statement specifying the salary for the work carried out in Sweden and any preliminary tax deducted
- another individual statement specifying the salary for the work carried out in the other country, and with an x placed in box 276 –Decision not to make tax deduction because the income is not taxable in Sweden due to application of the six-month rule. If the work abroad does not relate to a posting from Sweden, you should instead fill in box 253 – Local employee.
It is important that the two individual statements have different statement numbers.
If you have not deducted any preliminary tax
If you have not deducted any preliminary tax on compensation paid, you must enter zero (0) in one of the boxes for deducted preliminary tax, or put an x in one of the boxes that specifies why preliminary tax should not be deducted.
An example of when you should enter zero (0) in box 001 is when you have not deducted preliminary tax on compensation to a school student because the employee provided a certificate stating that preliminary tax should not be deducted.
001 – Preliminary tax deducted
In this box, enter the amount of preliminary tax deducted from salary, pension and other compensation.
Enter zero (0) in box 001 if you have not deducted preliminary tax because:
- the employee’s compensation is less than SEK 1,000 per calendar year
- the employee received only flat-rate benefits, allowances, car benefit or deductible expenses during the month in question
- you have received a certificate (SKV 434: Certificate for payment of salary without deducting preliminary tax) from a student employed on a temporary basis
- your organisation is an association that is not required to deduct preliminary tax on compensation less than half a price base amount paid to athletes.
Foreign employers without a permanent establishment are required to deduct preliminary tax on compensation for work carried out in Sweden.
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 business operations.
114 – Tax exempt under tax treaty
Put an x in this box if you have not deducted preliminary tax because the compensation is not taxable in Sweden. This applies in the following cases:
- A foreign employer who pays compensation for work carried out in another Nordic country other than Sweden to a payee who is covered by the Swedish social security system. The remuneration is pensionable income in Sweden and employer contributions must be paid here. If the payee is covered by the general rule in the Nordic tax treaty, the income is only taxable in the other Nordic country.
- The compensation relates to work carried out in Sweden and which, without the tax treaty, would have been taxed in Sweden according to special income tax for foreign residents, artists and athletes (A-SINK).
253 – Local employee
Place an x here if you are a Swedish employer and have paid compensation to an employee who lives and works in another country (known as a local employee).
A local employee is a person who is resident and employed in the country where your business activities are carried out, i.e. an employee who is not posted from Sweden. The term “local employee” also applies to a posted employee whose posting has expired under the EU Social Security Regulation or a social security convention.
094 – Employee of a foreign delegation in Sweden who, under a tax agreement, is liable to pay tax in the country of the delegation
Put an x here if the payee is employed by a foreign delegation in Sweden and is liable to pay tax in the country of the delegation in accordance with a tax convention. Examples include embassy staff, who must pay tax in the country of the embassy and not in Sweden.
276 – Decision not to make tax deduction because the income is not taxable in Sweden
Put an x in this box if you have received a decision notice from the Swedish Tax Agency stating that preliminary tax must not be deducted because of employment abroad. For example, this could be when the six-month rule is applicable or if the work is undertaken for a Swedish employer in another Nordic country.
Compensation included in the basis for employer contributions and special payroll tax on earned income
Enter compensation here that is included in the basis for employer contributions or special payroll tax on earned income.
011 – Cash gross salary, etc.
Here, enter cash compensation for work, such as gross salary, that is included in the basis for employer contributions. You must not enter benefits in this box.
Benefits that are included in the basis for employer contributions
Benefits are taxable non-cash compensation that an employee may receive from their employer, such as a car benefit or meal benefit.
If the employee has paid for the benefit through 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 should not 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 received a benefit in January, it must be reported in the PAYE 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 postponed by one month or a maximum of two months. For example, this may be the case if you only learn about the benefit when the employee submits a travel expenses form.
Reporting may only be postponed in special cases – your general reporting must not be postponed.

- 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 put 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. You should enter the marked-up value in this box. 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 any markup. If you calculate employer contributions yourself, value the fuel benefit 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.

Box 013: SEK 2,500
Box 018: SEK 1,200
(market value SEK 1,000 x 1.2)

If a payee has received fuel benefit without also having a car benefit, report the market value of the free fuel benefit.

Sweden’s social security agreement with India does not include such a provision. This means that the posting regulations are not applicable to an employee who is posted to work abroad for a branch or subsidiary owned by their employer.

Other types of compensation
030 – Employment pension
Here, you report the employment pension paid to former employees or their survivors. Examples of occupational pensions include direct pension schemes. Pension payments must be declared in a PAYE tax return per employee in the same way as salary and other compensation.
As the payee’s former employer, you have to declare the pension per employee. This is because you are the issuer of the pension and are liable for the cost. You also have pension liability towards the payee.
This also applies if you have hired a pension administrator who pays out the pension on your behalf.
For more information, please see the Swedish Tax Agency’s position.
There is one exception to the requirement to report pension payments per employee. When a pension is paid out because of a pension insurance policy, the insurance provider must declare the pension payment in its PAYE tax return. The insurance provider must also continue to submit annual statements of earnings and deductions.
Please note that severance pay is not a pension: it is considered as salary and must be reported in box 011 – Cash gross salary, etc.
035 – Certain non-taxable forms of remuneration to foreign experts, etc - in accordance with a decision by the Taxation of Research Workers Board

037 – Certain deductions
Employees may make deductions for certain special expenses in their income tax returns. These include contributions that employees make during their employment to their own or their survivors’ pensions. Enter the amount that the employee has paid here. The amount must be included in box 011 – Cash gross salary etc.

In such cases, the following compensation and benefits are exempt from special income tax and employer’s contributions:

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 postponed one month or a maximum of two months. For example, this may be the case if you only learn about the benefit when the employee submits a travel expenses form.
Reporting may only be postponed in special cases - your general reporting must not be postponed.
