The usual arrangement for an Indian professional in Sweden is two advisers who have never spoken: a CA in India who does not know Swedish rules, and a Swedish advisor who cannot understand an Indian statement. The client struggles between them.
We work differently. Our partner Chartered Accountant in India specialises in NRI matters and handles the Indian filing; we handle the Swedish one.
Two tax systems, one declaration
Most Indian professionals in Sweden keep a financial life in India — an NRE account for remittances, an NRO account for rent or interest, mutual funds started years ago, shares, sometimes a flat or a share of a family business. None of that shows up in the pre-filled Swedish declaration.
The Swedish rule is simple: a resident is taxed on worldwide income. The complications are all practical — an Indian financial year that runs April to March, statements in rupees, tax withheld in India that must be reported here, and we assist with the complete process.
