Purchases from a foreign supplier as an expense – is it allowed?

For freelancers who invoice through WorkNode without their own company.

Approved

Yes, but the supplier must invoice with reverse charge and WorkNode’s VAT number.

Why?

Without WorkNode’s VAT number, the supplier may add foreign VAT, and then the purchase cannot be handled as an expense.

Good to know

  • The invoice must show 0% VAT, the words "reverse charge" and VAT number SE559156129401.

What you need to show

An invoice with reverse charge and WorkNode’s VAT number.

How it works through WorkNode

The expense is booked by WorkNode as your employer. If the cost is private, it counts as a benefit, and you would then pay tax and we would pay employer contributions on it. That is why we only approve costs that belong to the assignment.
