Accounting obligations in Sweden
Understanding the tax and accounting obligations the company will be subject to is important before commencing the business activities.
Tax compliance is an ongoing process once investors open a company and failure to observe the rules in force results in unwanted penalties for the business.
Our accountant in Stockholm lists a number of important issues to keep in mind regarding tax and financial compliance in the country:
- - accounting principles: are set forth by the Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Accounting Standards Board and the Council, as well as the Swedish Institute of Authorized Public Accountants;
- - tax year: the income year is the same as the financial year and it is a 12-month period that can end in December, April, June or August or another period that ends on the last day of any month;
- - filing dates: companies observe four different filing dates, depending on the month in which their financial year ends; for example, for companies with a financial year that ends between 30 September and 31 December, the filing corporate income tax return is submitted on August 1st for electronic returns; a chartered accountant in Sweden from our tram can give you more details;
- - penalties: SEK 6,250 is due for late filing, as well as a surcharge if the company omits or provides false information.
Working with a Swedish accountant is advisable in order to ensure the company’s full compliance.
Working with a team of accountants as soon as you open a company in Sweden is advisable in order to ensure compliance with the tax requirements. Our team can give you more details about the registration for the Swedish Tax Agency (which needs to take place after the registration with the Companies Registration Office), as well as the approval for the Swedish F-tax.
