Claiming expenses
Depending on how you are taxed for your income, you have the right to deduct some expenses you incurred in your assignment, if they are directly linked to the service you are performing. Please note that the Swedish taxation Authority is pretty strict in terms of what expenses you can deduct and which ones you cannot deduct.
If the expense is claimed through Cool Company, and you pay standard Swedish Social Contribution and Ordinary A-tax, then the expense will act as a tax shield, and you will get approximately 50% back of the original amount once you receive the payment from us.
This expense value (read 50 % estimation) decreases if you have an approved A1 certificate and/or pay less tax through e.g., SINK.
Note that the purchase date on the receipt needs to be at the same time-period as the assignment, meaning that you can’t claim old expenses as part of your assignment. For all expenses Cool Company Skandinavien requires:
- A Receipt indicating what item it refers to and
- A proof of payment, and
- That the expense can be tied to a salary that is to be paid to you, meaning that you cannot claim expenses if you don’t have an ongoing assignment. You have to add the expenses in the system yourself.
- Please send your expenses to partner@coolcompany.com. If the assignment provider will be reimbursing your expenses, please clearly specify which expenses are eligible for reimbursement and which are not in that email.
