How can I get paid in Sweden when working remotely for a company in Ireland?

It is possible to get paid in Sweden while working for a company in Ireland but it is not as straightforward as it sounds. You will need to be registered in Sweden as a self-employed worker and pay tax on your earnings in Sweden. If you are a citizen of Ireland, you can also claim tax refunds in Ireland.

The first step is to register as a self-employed worker in Sweden. This is relatively straightforward and you can do it online. You need to fill out a simple form and pay the registration fee of SEK 1000 (€115) through your bank account.
You will then need to apply for a tax number. This is a Swedish social security number which is used to pay taxes in Sweden. You can apply for this online, but you will need to pay a fee of SEK 1500 (€190) and get a receipt. You can pay this fee through your bank account or by sending a bank transfer.
Once you have applied for a tax number, you will need to register at the Swedish Tax Agency. You will need to pay a fee of SEK 2000 (€245) and fill out a form.
Once you have paid the fee, you will need to get an invoice.
The next step is to register your company at the Swedish Tax Agency. You will need to pay a fee of SEK 3000 (€385) and fill out a form.
