Pièges courants
Underestimating bank KYC — opening a Swedish business bank account can take weeks and banks can refuse without explanation.
Missing the annual report (årsredovisning) deadline — late filing triggers penalties and public strike-off risk.
Confusing F-tax (F-skatt) with ordinary tax registration — you need F-tax to invoice clients without VAT withholding.
Not setting aside money for preliminary tax (preliminärskatt) — Skatteverket estimates and collects monthly.
