Social security compliance in international assignments

Navigating the complex regulations on social security legislation and the obligations for employer and/or employee social security contributions can be daunting, especially in an international context. 

During foreign assignments, employers and employees often require extensive support and guidance to ensure compliance and optimal planning.

At KPMG, we leverage our extensive international network to offer invaluable advice on social insurance affiliations and the payment of employer and employee social security contributions, both in Sweden and abroad. Our expertise ensures that your operations remain compliant with EU coordination rules, Sweden's bilateral agreements on social security, and Swedish national law.

We specialize in various situations, including:


  1. Cross-border employees
  2. Posted employees
  3. Business travellers
  4. Multi-state workers
  1. Board of directors
  2. Civil servants
  3. Employees working remotely
  4. Other complex situations

How can we assist you?

Together with our international network of colleagues also specializing in international social security, we can make sure you know what employer obligations you need to comply with in a given country and that your employees have the necessary certificates.

We provide advisory services within applicable legislation on social security and obligations regarding employer/employee social security contributions for example:

  • Applications for A1 Certificates for work in EU and EEA countries, Switzerland and the UK
  • Applications for Certificate of Coverage for work in countries with which Sweden has an agreement on social security
  • S1 and other health card applications
  • Social security briefings (to provide the employee with a brief overview of the social security system in Sweden)
  • Registration of employers in Sweden and ongoing employer reporting support
