If you reside abroad

Please use the form 'External expert'. If you reside abroad and work/perform assignments in Sweden, you are subject to special income tax on the income (SINK tax in Swedish). The processing by the Swedish Tax Agency may delay the payment. Therefore, we recommend that you send us the following documents as soon as possible. The highlighted fields on the SINK form must be filled in, while the other fields should only be completed if they are relevant to you.

• External expert
• Special income tax for non-residents
• A photocopy of your passport

Please note that The Swedish Tax Agency automatically sends out a letter in Swedish requiring you to appear for identity verification. This letter is sent for a variety of matters, even though it only concerns a few. You can disregard this, and your case will be processed according to standard procedures regardless of whether you visit them or not. Your fee will be paid as soon as we have received the Swedish Tax Agency's decision on special income tax for persons residing abroad

Compensation levels

The fee for the expert assignment depends on the type of position in question and the number of applicants to be assessed.
