USE CASE: CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES OPERATING IN SWEDEN

Company compliance & management for construction businesses

Helping construction companies build with confidence

The Swedish construction market is one of the most attractive destinations for Baltic and European companies.
But with opportunity comes complexity: registration requirements (F-tax, VAT, employer obligations), ID06, trade union compliance, and legal reporting can quickly become overwhelming.

1Office Group helps construction companies navigate Swedish compliance requirements, from company setup to ongoing tax and workforce management — so you can focus on your projects, not paperwork.

FAQ

Do I need ID06 to work in Sweden?

Yes, every worker on a Swedish construction site must have an ID06 card linked to a verified company.

What is ID06 and why is it required in Sweden?

ID06 is a mandatory identification system for everyone working on Swedish construction sites. It helps ensure tax compliance and workplace safety by verifying the identity and employment status of each worker. All employees, including foreign contractors, must have a valid ID06 card to access construction sites legally.

What documents are required for ID06 registration?

Typically, you’ll need company registration documents, proof of F-tax or VAT registration, and verified ID for all employees. If your company is foreign, you may also need a certificate of tax residency or A1 forms for posted workers.

Do I need to join a Swedish trade union?

While not mandatory, many general contractors require union compliance or adherence to collective agreements for subcontractors.

Can 1Office handle both Estonian and Swedish accounting?

Yes. Our cross-border accountants handle dual compliance — so you stay legal in both Estonia and Sweden.

What is F-tax and why is it important?

F-tax (F-skatt) certifies that your company pays its own taxes in Sweden. Without it, Swedish clients must withhold 30% of your payment for taxes.

How long does it take to register for F-tax in Sweden?

The F-tax registration process usually takes 2–4 weeks, depending on the Swedish Tax Agency’s (Skatteverket) workload and the completeness of your application. 1Office can help prepare and submit your documents correctly to avoid delays.

What is the difference between F-tax and VAT registration?

F-tax registration confirms you handle your own income tax and social contributions.
VAT registration is required if you sell goods or services in Sweden exceeding the VAT threshold or provide construction services locally. Most construction firms operating in Sweden need both.

Can I manage my Swedish compliance remotely?

Absolutely. With 1Office, you can register your company, handle taxes, and manage accounting entirely online, without needing to visit Sweden. Our digital services are designed for cross-border businesses.

What accounting obligations do construction companies in Sweden have?

Every company registered in Sweden must keep proper accounting records, submit annual reports, and file taxes. If you have employees or subcontractors, monthly payroll and VAT reports are also mandatory.
