All according to Murphy's law, my first week in Sweden coincides with a huge influx of translations to due with fixtures (my least favourite) and a large proofreading job in Danish about submersible pumps. But I have managed to do some other things too, like
- go jogging along the beach barefoot with Oskar (who thought the sea looked to good to resist and went for a "swim" too)
- book an appointment with the dentist (7.10 am - the nurse will have to place the dental equivalent of high-rise scaffolding in my mouth to keep it open, I think)
- go to an information seminar on "starting your business" held at the local tax office, which might already deter some people from going, but the room was packed! After lots of intimidating information about registering, paying VAT, keeping your books in order and a coffee break, my head was buzzing. But on leaving, I met a girl that I went to school which was a very pleasant surprise.
So, anyone know a cheap and trustworthy accountant versed in the Swedish tax system?
The most pleasant thing about starting a company in Sweden, is that you can do all your paperwork online, very efficiently...(none of the filing a dozen applications with different authorities all over the city, like in some Germanic neighbouring countries I might mention) - of course that also means less excuses for being late with anything!
