Tuesday 26 November 17:00 – Helsingborg Business Forum #3: Understanding Taxation

Author: Sally Russell

Welcome to the Helsingborg Business Forum – a space where we learn about entrepreneurship and business in Helsingborg.

The Helsingborg Business Forum is a joint venture by Peers Bridge, Helsingborg International Connections, Helsingborg Business Community and Open Space Mindpark.

Through the events held under this forum, once every month, you will have the opportunity to meet different entrepreneurs, advisors and investors and hopefully create a strong network in the business world of Helsingborg.

We are back with our third event – Understanding Taxation in Sweden. If you are interested in setting up your own business or already have one, the taxation system can come across as quite complicated and confusing. Through this event, we aim to make it easier for you to understand how it all works.

The event will be held at the Auditorium, Open Space Mindpark.

If you have any questions, please write to: info@peersbridge.se

HIC is hosting an information evening for those of you who are new to the Swedish labour market or who would like to know more about work life in Sweden.

On Thursday 14th November we will host a presentation by Magnus Rothman from Unionen.

Unionen was formed on 1st January 2008 when two unions, HIF and Sif, joined together to form not only Sweden’s biggest trade union but also the biggest ‘white-collar’ trade union in the world.

 Some of the topics being presented include:

  • The Swedish work model
  • Collective agreements for employees
  • Advantages of joining a trade union
  • What services and tools are offered by a Unionen to help you find work in Sweden

The presentation will take place at the auditorium at Drottninggatan 7A and should last around 45 minutes. There will also be a question and answer session afterwards.

In addition there will also be a presentation by Graham Keating on the Swedish unemployment compensation system Arbetslöshetskassa, or a-kassa as it is known, and other areas of the unemployment compensation system in Sweden.

Some of the topics presented include:

  • Why you should join an a-kassa
  • How to qualify to be an a-kassa member
  • What are the benefits of being in an a-kassa
  • How long a-kassa pays unemployment benefit for
  • Other forms of unemployment compensation available

The presentation should last between 30-45 minutes and there will also be a question and answer session afterwards.

We hope to have an interesting and informative evening and we look forward to welcoming you then! Please note, doors open at 17:00.
