Tax is administered by Skatteverket. The marker that you are operating as a business rather than as an employee is F-tax approval: it says you are responsible for paying your own preliminary tax and social contributions, and clients rely on it when they pay you gross. Businesses register for VAT and, once they have staff, file a monthly employer declaration with per-employee detail alongside the employer contributions.
- F-tax approval is what marks you out as invoicing as a business rather than as an employee.
- Employers file a monthly declaration with per-employee detail, not an annual summary.
- VAT registration is separate from F-tax and from employer registration.
