Not legal or financial advice. This page describes how the project is set up today; it is not legal or financial advice. The formal sides of running an open project that takes money in Sweden — registering as a sole trader (enskild firma), F-skatt, VAT/MOMS, invoicing companies, and registering a trademark with PRV — depend on your situation and should be confirmed with a Swedish accountant or lawyer.
