- Strengthen your possibilities as a freelancer to benefit from the social security systems
For those with slightly larger activities in Smart, it may be interesting to strengthen your possibilities to access the social protection networks; A-kassa, sick pay, VAB etc. For example, for the A-kassa, it is important that you meet the following criteria:
- That you worked 60 hours a month or more
- Invoiced SEK 90,000 or more over a six-month period or SEK 15,000 a month. This sum can be distributed as salaries over a half-year period. NOTE: It is important to point out that you have to take this out as salary and not as for example expenses, allowances!
- Been a member of an A-fund for 3 months or more
Could this be relevant to you? In this case, we recommend that you contact us on 08 122 00 680 and we will put together a salary plan for you.
NOTE: Smart cannot guarantee that you will be able to get A-kassa or similar. Only the A-kassan or the Försäkringskassan can grant it. What Smart can do however is to help you meet as many requirements as possible for a working condition, which in turn could significantly increase your chances of being granted support.
- You can add some (1/3) of your income as an investment cost.
