Abstract
It analyzes in detail the statutory and procedural framework of Swedish income taxation as it applies to individuals and corporations, both resident and nonresident. The analysis also covers many of the other legal details vital to the organization of a Swedish company. In addition to a detailed explanation of the Swedish system of income taxation, the Portfolio discusses the local taxes, the value added tax, other taxes and, as the context requires, the relationship of Swedish law to EC law based on Sweden's status as a Member State of the European Union.
Among the Worksheets are summaries of the effect of Sweden's income tax treaties on withholding taxes, tax forms, and the texts of the Sweden–United States income tax treaty.
