WHY IS IT WORTH IT?
accounting in Sweden
The Swedish construction market is very attractive to small and medium-sized construction companies. The attractiveness of the Swedish market is determined, among other things, by the high demand for new housing, especially in large metropolitan areas, and the large market of private homeowners as potential customers for renovation and construction services. Polish companies are in high demand in Sweden, especially in the field of renovation services and finishing works.
Polish workers with the right qualifications, including construction workers, in such professions as reinforcers, sheet metal workers, masons, welders, parquet workers, plasterers and other specialists in finishing work, have a very good reputation.
Potential regions where to look for construction contracts include Stockholm, Goteborg and Malmo, as well as in Sweden's densely populated south, Skåne. Goteborg is also one of the larger and important industrial centers. Heavy industry, mining and chemicals are mainly concentrated in the north of Sweden in such centers as Gelivare, Kiruna, Umea, Pitea and Lulea.
The main barrier faced by Polish entrepreneurs is the fact that employers comply with, but above all scrupulously guard the minimum rates resulting from contracts/collective bargaining agreements. It should be emphasized that these rates do not derive from laws, but precisely from contracts. These agreements may raise questions on legal grounds about their applicability to non-parties. However, in most cases they are respected due to the very strong position of Swedish trade unions in the Byggnads construction sector.
Therefore, more and more Swedish employers require as a basic requirement for cooperation that the foreign company conclude an agreement with the trade unions in Sweden. We specialize in serving Polish entities, both sole proprietors and companies with employees performing services, especially construction services, in Sweden. With our knowledge of internal Swedish law and the practices of Swedish tax authorities, we advise on how to optimize registration, tax and legal obligations when providing services in Sweden.
We analyze a given project in terms of the creation of a tax establishment, optimization of contracts, choice of the place of taxation of employees' income taking into account the 183-day rule. We also point out the potential risks and elements of contracts with Swedish companies leading to the creation of a tax permanent establishment in Sweden, and thus the need to pay tax on company profits at a less preferential tax rate in Sweden.
Using the provisions of international agreements, we advise on how to successfully overcome administrative, legal and tax barriers in Sweden.
We have extensive experience in serving Polish entities operating on the Swedish market as well as experience in dealing with Swedish tax authorities.

Why is it worth it?
Individuals, if they have a place of residence in the territory of the Republic of Poland, are subject to tax liability on all their income (revenue) regardless of the location of the sources of revenue (unlimited tax liability). At the same time, the legislator indicated that the above-cited principle applies taking into account the regulations of double taxation treaties.
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 15(1) and (2) of the Polish-Swedish Convention, salaries, wages and other similar remuneration that a resident of a Contracting State (here: Poland) receives for work as an employee are taxable only in that State (i.e. Poland), unless the work is performed in the other Contracting State (i.e. Sweden). If the work is so performed, the remuneration received for it may be taxed in that other State (i.e., Sweden). Notwithstanding the above, remuneration that a resident of a Contracting State (i.e., Poland) receives for paid work performed in the other Contracting State (i.e., Sweden) is taxable only in the first mentioned State (i.e., Poland) if:
1. the recipient resides in the other State (i.e., Sweden) for a period or periods not exceeding a total of 183 days during the twelve-month period beginning or ending in the tax year in question and
2. wages are paid by or on behalf of an employer who is not domiciled in the other State (Sweden),
3. cwages are not borne by an establishment or permanent establishment that the employer has in the other State (in Sweden).
Crossing 183 days stay will result in retroactive effects, and it means that you should go back to the 1st day of the period in which 183 days were exceeded and tax wages in Sweden, while in Poland you should stop paying advance income tax.
