How does VAT work for books, music, and cultural work?

Some qualifying copyright or cultural transactions may use 6% VAT, while many commercial design and marketing services use 25%. WorkNode must assess the actual assignment.

Can I register equipment or software expenses?

Necessary costs with a direct connection to an approved assignment may be handled when the required receipts and documentation are available.

Does the insurance protect my camera and other equipment?

No, not automatically. Accident and liability cover does not insure cameras or other equipment as property. What applies is assessed per assignment. Read /en/forsakringar.
