I am not Swedish, but I find it hard to believe this is your only option. Can't you pay yourself a smaller salary, and pay out the profits as a dividend, which is likely taxed way less? I have a (non-Swedish) LLC and it pays me dividends, not just salary.

I don't know a single company owner who pays themselves the entire company potential profit as salary like you seem to be doing, because this would just increase their tax burden.

Edit: from some quick googling, swedish corporate tax is 22% and dividend tax is 30%. So if taxation works the same as here, you'd still be effectively paying ~45% (1 - 0.78*0.7) tax. :/ Better than 60% though...



Doesn't work, dividends are typically taxed as personal income if you work for your own company in Sweden.
