Work From Sweden was established as part of De Zwedenspecialist, a family-owned company that has been helping people live, work and relocate to Sweden for more than 20 years. During that time, we have supported thousands of families and professionals in making the move to Sweden.
Over the years, we increasingly encountered the same situation: an employee relocates to Sweden but continues working for an employer based in another country. For the employee, this may appear relatively straightforward. For the employer, however, it can create complex obligations relating to payroll taxes, social security, employment law and payroll administration.
That is why we developed Work From Sweden: a specialised service that supports both employers and employees with cross-border working arrangements involving Sweden.
We are not a general international payroll platform. We specialise exclusively in employment and payroll matters relating to Sweden. We combine personal guidance with local Swedish expertise in employment law, taxation, social security and payroll. Our services include:
- Employer of Record services
- Employer registration in Sweden
- Swedish payroll and salary administration
- Payroll taxes and social security
- Employment law and tax guidance
- Ongoing support for both the employer and the employee
We act as your formal employer in Sweden. You will continue to work for your Dutch employer in terms of content, but will receive a Swedish contract from us. This means you are socially insured in Sweden, you can apply for a personal number, and you can build up rights here, such as sick leave and pension. Your old employer will simply receive a monthly invoice. This is how we arrange everything behind the scenes.
Sometimes a Dutch company wants to remain a Swedish employer itself. We guide them in registering with Skatteverket and ensure that they pay payroll tax and social security contributions correctly. We also support communication with Swedish authorities and provide advice on collective agreements, vacation days and continued payment of wages in the event of illness.
In an EOR (Employer of Record) structure, we act as a formal employer in Sweden. You will receive a Swedish contract through us, while continuing to work for your Dutch employer in terms of content. With an employer registration, your Dutch employer remains a formal employer, but registers in Sweden to pay payroll taxes and social security contributions correctly.
As soon as you live and work in Sweden, you become subject to tax and social insurance in Sweden. Without the right structure, you risk double taxation or loss of social rights. Our solutions prevent that.
Yes, with an employment contract through our EOR structure you have a valid legal employment contract in Sweden. This way, you meet the conditions for registering with Skatteverket and you can request a personal number.
In many cases, employer registration is possible, but this depends on how your Company is set up. Based on your personal situation, we will advise you on the best route, both fiscally and legally.
If you work through our EOR structure, Swedish rules for continued payment of wages in case of illness and leave apply. We ensure that this is arranged correctly. When registering employers, the responsibility for this lies with your Dutch employer, according to Swedish law.
Yes. With Swedish employment, including through an EOR structure, you meet the conditions of most Swedish banks for mortgage applications. We may also be in contact with your bank or mortgage advisor about this.
Sure. We also help people who already live in Sweden but have not yet arranged a good work structure. Often, a lot is still possible, even retroactively.
Work From Sweden was established as part of the family-owned company INSITO – De Zwedenspecialist. INSITO Payroll originally served as the company’s dedicated business division. As our services continued to develop, we chose a new name that more clearly reflects our specialist focus: employment and payroll solutions in Sweden. Together with our Sweden-based team of legal, tax and accounting specialists, we support employers and employees with international payroll, Employer of Record services, employer registrations and other cross-border employment matters.In this way, we combine our family business’s long-standing experience in relocation to Sweden with in-depth expertise in international employment law, taxation and payroll. This enables professionals to live and work from Sweden while ensuring that their employment is structured safely, efficiently and in accordance with applicable legislation.
