“You will be taxed in Sweden, but the taxes will be paid to the Swedish tax authority by the Swedish company. The Swedish company will deduct the taxes from your salary and send it to the Swedish tax authority.
The Swedish company will also deduct the taxes from your salary when it sends the salary to the Swedish tax authority.
