DECISION GUIDE
What can I invoice through WorkNode?
Most service, consulting, creative, IT and construction assignments can be invoiced without your own company. Pure resale of physical goods, and activities that require a permit in your own company, cannot.
01 · WHAT WORKS
What you can invoice
WorkNode can be the contracting party and issue the invoice when the assignment is a service that can be approved. That covers most consulting, creative, IT and construction assignments. The client can be a company, a municipality, a public authority or a private individual, in Sweden or abroad.
VAT, currency and the invoicing route depend on the client and the service. Provide the documentation before you promise the client a particular VAT or currency treatment.
Companies in Sweden and abroad
Assignments for companies can be invoiced in Sweden and, when the documentation is sufficient, abroad. Available currencies include SEK, EUR, USD, GBP, NOK and DKK.
Municipalities and public authorities
Public-sector clients can receive an e-invoice. Enter the electronic invoicing details when you add the client.
Private individuals
You can invoice a private individual. ROT and RUT deductions cannot be added to an invoice from WorkNode, because the invoice is issued by WorkNode Freelance AB.
Construction and culture
Construction services between businesses can be invoiced with reverse-charge VAT when the client’s VAT number is available. Artist and actor fees are invoiced with 25 percent VAT through WorkNode.
No minimum amount
WorkNode has no minimum invoice amount. The fee follows the plan that applies, FLEX or PRO.

02 · CHECK FIRST
When pre-registration or extra review is needed
WorkNode may decline an assignment. Some work must be pre-registered before it starts, for example if insurance, sick pay or the collective agreement is to apply. A pre-registration covers at most four weeks at a time and must be supported by an agreement from the client.
Pure resale of physical goods or stock is not a fee for work performed. WorkNode does not handle that bookkeeping. A commissioned piece where the value sits in your own work can still be assessed as a service. Ask support before you promise the client an invoice.
Work that by law requires a special permit, authorisation or certificate in your own company cannot be invoiced through WorkNode if that permit must belong to you. Examples include certain road transport, electrical and gas installation, auditing, insurance or property brokerage, and healthcare performed by licensed staff. Send the documentation before work begins if you are unsure.
- pre-register the assignment if insurance or sick pay is to apply
- describe the service so WorkNode can assess VAT and permits
- do not sell physical goods as pure resale
- contact support if the activity requires your own permit
