Doesn’t the government of Sweden take at least half of that? ;D
Congrats btw.
depends on the construction of the company. ~25% in company tax. if he pays money out to himself, he will have to pay ~45% in personal income tax.
oh snap!!! thats ridiculous!!!
Swedish people disagree, and rightly so according to national happiness/quality of life indices.

Nah not really. In Sweden if you find yourself unemployed the government will do an awful lot to help you. It’s a worthy infrastructure.
Tax is only very slightly less in the UK but if you’re down and out here, you’re pretty much screwed and left to accumulate permanent debt and rot without help.
