Tax Decisions – Adjustment, SINK, Student Certificate and Extra Tax

The tax table on the staff record covers most people. Sometimes the employee has a decision from the Swedish Tax Agency or their own request that changes the tax deduction. Enter it under Skattebeslut (tax decisions) on the staff record; in Vendion Payroll the decision overrides the table.

Add a decision

Open the person under Personal, go to the pay section and press Lägg in beslut… under Skattebeslut. Choose the type, fill in the value and the date it applies from. End a decision that no longer applies with Avsluta…; the history remains.

The types

• Jämkning (procent) – tax is deducted at the percentage in the Tax Agency's decision instead of the table. Enter the date you received it: it must be applied within two weeks.
• Studentintyg (SKV 434) – no tax deduction for the income year, when the employee certifies that the year's income will stay under the limit (SEK 25,042 for 2026).
• Extra skatt (extra tax at the employee's request) – in kronor every month or as a percentage of each payment, on top of the normal deduction.
• SINK (resident abroad) – tax is deducted at the SINK rate (22.5% in 2026, 20% from 2027) and reported in the AGI with the foreign tax number (TIN), country and address abroad.

Not supported yet

A1 certificates and A-SINK are not yet handled in Vendion Payroll. If you enter such a decision the person's pay is stopped until it is resolved, so nobody gets the wrong tax.

Good to know

• The tax basis used is shown on the payslip.
• With an external payroll system (Fortnox Payroll or PAXml), tax decisions are entered there, not in Vendion.
