Payroll in Sweden

Swedish payroll involves handling tax deductions, employer contributions, holiday pay and reporting to the authorities. It calls for reliable routines and a solid knowledge of Swedish rules and collective agreements.

At TG we combine local expertise with a Nordic operating model, so payroll runs smoothly - whether you have one company in Sweden or operate across several countries.
