Inter-Consulting Europe (UK) Ltd is registered foreign company in Germany with no physical office in Germany and no full- time employees. In this case, when Inter-Consulting employees are EU nationals they are paid from UK to Germany.

 In Germany you will have to pay the income tax on all your income each calendar year. Working as a contractor you will be also responsible for paying your pension, health, nursing and unemployment insurances. At the end of one calendar year, you will need to submit an Income Tax Declaration to the Tax office. You can do it yourself of ask for a professional help.

Inter-Consulting will have the right to ask for a proof of consultant’s Tax payments, as we in return must report to a client that all payments have been made.

How Much Income Tax you pay?

In Germany, everyone’s earnings are subject to a basic tax allowance. Up to this amount, your taxable income is not subject to tax. In 2019, this basic tax allowance is 9,168 euros if you are unmarried and not in a civil partnership. For couples who are married or in a civil partnership is 18,336. If your taxable income is higher than these amounts, you will pay income tax on it. The taxation rates vary from 14 percent to 42 percent. The rule is: the higher your taxable income, the higher the rate of taxation. However, the top tax rate of 42 percent is only payable on incomes of more than 250,731 euros a year if you are unmarried and not in a civil partnership. For couples who are married or in a civil partnership, the maximum tax rate is applicable for incomes of over 501,462 euros.

Sweden is a great place to live with its kind citizens, excellent public services and corporate culture that encourages people to have a good work-life balance.

Why Sweden in such an attractive place for work and living?

• 6 weeks paid Holidays!
• 480 Days Parental Leave
• Excellent Free Healthcare Services

Summer is Incredible

When you finish work at 5 you ‘ll have 5-6 hours of sun after work. That’s quality time for swimming, kayaking, walking, or picnicking (a national sport)

Green and Clean

All throughout Sweden the air is clean, there is tons of nature and the water is perfect for drinking and swimming.

Everything is functional and reliable

Swedes are obsessed with order. This means buses and trains will be on time (except when weather kicks in and all goes to hell) and most things will work the way they were planned hundreds of weeks ahead.

Work life is ridiculously comfortable

Jobs in Sweden seem designed to keep you as comfortable as possible. You will often see colleagues getting to work remotely with no questions asked or deciding their own vacation dates which is unheard of in most other parts of the world. Many companies allow their employees to leave after lunch on Fridays, others offer paid hours that employees can invest in wellbeing and fitness and at 5.05 PM offices look like ghost towns plus you will rarely hear from work on evenings or weekends. Bosses trust you and care about you and colleagues are often authentically interested in seeing you happy rather than competing against you. Few things can beat that.

It is unbelievably safe

Sweden comes as one of the safest places you can live on.

How about the Drawbacks? Okay, there are a few…but are they really that bad?

It really does get cold in winter

It gets dark very early and it does get very cold and snowy. The weather does not slow Swedish lifestyle, they are out and about all winter long: downhill ski, ice skate, play hockey, take walks, run, sled, drink coffee, and even put their babies outside to sleep in their carriages.

Taxes are high, but it pays off

Free Healthcare and Daycare, Free Education, Excellent Social Services and Benefits...just to name a few.

It can be tough to find a place to live

The waiting list to get a first-hand apartment contract (where you rent directly from the building owner rather than subletting from an existing tenant) in big cities can get pretty long.

Getting a personnummer is crucially important

Everyone in Sweden has a special government issued number called a personnummer. It is what allows you to apply for a bank account or a phone contract, and you will use it often – be it when you’re online paying bills or on the phone calling the tax office. The process is quite easy but it can also take some time, so it is worth putting it on the top of your to-do list when you arrive in Sweden.

Inter-Consulting Europe (UK) Ltd will only work with candidates who would fit into a Swedish culture and will appreciate the local amenities. This includes living locally. We prefer people who want to relocate to Sweden.  We require employees to be enrolled into the Swedish Social System with a Person ID and a Full TAX ID to be granted and a Verification process to be applied. This is crucial, so all laws are obeyed. In turn, we must provide legal evidences to our Project Manager and to the client. Sweden has implemented Immigration and TAX Laws for both non-EU and EU nationals.  

EU Nationals/British Nationals/US Nationals

EU Nationals are subject to Swedish Taxation if you are in the country for more than 3 months. If you are commuting on a weekly basis and work over 3 months you are a subject to Swedish taxation, as this is deemed as your main income and place of work. Sweden does not recognise 183 days’ rule anymore. Any British Nationals need to have Swedish AB on commencement of any contracts. The payments are only made in Sweden, not to any UK Ltd company. This is the only business process we operate for British contractors.

This Swedish government body investigates employees, who do not obey Swedish Tax rules: www.ekobrottsmyndigheten.se/en/

Taxation System in Sweden

If you are an employee paid from Inter-Consulting Europe (UK) Ltd we are obliged to pay all social tax fees: national insurance, pension, and other fees from your payroll. 

According to Swedish supply chain law the employer is responsible for social contribution payments of its employees.  If an employee avoids paying taxes Swedish tax authorities will demand this amount from the end customer. Therefore, the customer requires from us to provide evidences of your payments.

Level of English

Your English MUST BE FLUENT with the advanced level in all areas: speaking, writing, listening. This will be assessed on a telephone interview. If your English level does not meet the requirements we will not progress with your application.

These are the steps you should follow to register in Sweden:

Documents to bring with you (for single status people):

1.  You will need to have a full passport to obtain a temporary bank account until you get your Swedish Person ID.  EU national ID card is not any good.

2.     Documents showing your civil status, e.g. marriage certificate (as unmarried you do not need to show your civil status).

3.     Birth certificate, if you have children.

4.     Documents showing that you are employed and working or will be working in Sweden.

5.     Pay slips (If you have already begun your period of employment you can also bring pay slips.)

6.     Present your Employment Certificate (If you are working in Sweden you will be required to present an employment certificate (anställningsbevis) from your employer, specifying that you will be performing work in Sweden).

If you are moving with a family:

When you visit the office all members of your family who are moving to Sweden must accompany you, including the children.  You and your family members need to bring the above documents when you visit one of Swedish Tax Agency offices.

We are now only relocating families where the consultant have a Swedish Investor Work Permit. It is too expensive to live with a family in Sweden with the housing costs.

We prefer only EU nationals or international applicants with a dual EU citizenship. For example, you have a Brazilian and Italian passport. The director will shortlist international applicants that he feels suitable for the job.

 Visit Swedish Tax Agency 

When you visit Swedish Tax Agency you will be given  a co-ordination number.

• This number must always be used in contact with the Swedish Tax Agency. 
• The purpose of the coordination number is for authorities and other social organisations to identify people even if they are not in the Swedish Population Register.
• You can use a coordination number when contacting different authorities, healthcare centres and banks.

IMPORTANT: A coordination number is not the same as a Personal Identity number. A Personal Identity number can only be obtained if you plan to stay in Sweden for longer than one year.

The Agency will explain to you that in order to apply for a Personal Identity Number  you will need to prove  that you actually work  and intent to stay long-term in Sweden. A proof for that would be your payslips, so you will need to begin your work first and get your payslips in irder to get a Personal Identity Number.  

You will need to come back to Swedish Tax Agency when you get your payslips and a co-ordination number, so they will register you in the Swedish Population Register. 

Once you get registered in Swedish Population Register you will be issued a Swedish Personal Identity Number (personnummer).

What is a Swedish Person Identity Number and why you need it?

Everybody entered into the Swedish Population Register is given a personal identity number, which is unique for that person. A personal identity number is provided by the Swedish Tax Agency. A coordination number is a unique designation of a person's identity that is not, or has not been, registered in Sweden. 

f you have been given a personal identity number, you will keep the same number for your whole life. This means that your personal identity number is not changed if you move abroad, for example.

Your personal identity number is used in contact with authorities and private companies, since the number is your identity designation in Sweden.

The Swedish Tax Agency is commissioned by the government to provide current, accurate information about people who live in Sweden so that other authorities have a basis for planning and decisions. This is done by the Population Register department, which passes on your information to other authorities. They will receive correct information about you when changes are made to the Population Register, such as your new address after you report a move.

Inter-Consulting Europe (UK) Ltd is registered foreign company in Sweden with no physical office in Sweden and no full- time employees who are Swedish nationals.

Our Company registration number in Sweden is 502072-7219

In this case, when Inter-Consulting employees are EU nationals they are paid from UK to Sweden.
