Registering a Business
Registering a business for tax purposes in Sweden differs depending on if you are currently operating a business abroad that you want to establish in Sweden, or if you are starting a new business in Sweden. For certain foreign companies who are not established in Sweden but sell goods to Swedish consumers or e-services within the EU, special rules apply.
Establishing your foreign business in Sweden
You need to register your foreign business in Sweden for taxation, including registering a Swedish branch or subsidiary of a foreign company. You need to register if you are liable for any Swedish taxes; including income tax or VAT.
Starting a new business in Sweden
You can register a Swedish business as a sole trader resident in Sweden (self-employed) or register a new Swedish legal person for taxation.

Changing your registration
If your circumstances have or will change, you have to change your registration information and preliminary tax debiting. It is best to make such changes as soon as possible, to ensure the correct taxation.
Selling goods to Sweden from abroad – VAT
If you are selling goods directly to Swedish consumers from abroad within the EU, the VAT rules may require you to register and pay Swedish VAT on such sales.
Foreign companies operating in Sweden in the financial field
Such companies may need to submit annual income statements (Swedish abbreviation KU) to the Swedish Tax Agency.
Non-EU traders: VAT on e-Commerce
One Stop Shop brings together the special schemes (the Union scheme, the non-Union scheme and the import scheme) in one place, allowing you as a business to report VAT on distance sales of goods and certain supplies of services to non-taxable persons, such as private consumers, in other EU countries. It is voluntary and free to register to One Stop Shop.
