Taxed savings moving back to the UK

Taxed savings moving back to the UK?
Hi, I currently reside and work in Sweden and have been doing so for the past 7 months. I'm originally from London, and had decided to move abroad upon meeting my girlfriend. I'm thinking of starting a savings account here in Sweden, and plan to move back to the UK within the next few years. Will I be taxed on my savings?

If you're Swedish resident then you'll pay Swedish tax on income there. No UK taxes are due on funds brought in to the UK from Sweden unless you remain UK resident.

When you hold a student visa (type D) it only authorizes the travel into the country of issue and would state valid for "Sverige" and would authorize a prior transit of up to 5 days to reach the destination country. It is not like a tourist visa (type C) which states valid for "Schengenstater" and you can use it for traveling through all 25 countries in Europe forming the Schengen zone. What I just can't understand is the fact that you are a student but obviously are not capable of reading and understanding the provisions which have been told to you when you got your student visa. Once you should get a residence permit (Uppehållstillstånd) you may travel up to 90 days in a six months period to other Schengen countries to include Demark for visits (tourist purposes) but not for work. If you would want to work in Denmark you would have to obtain a Danish work permit. Source(s): http://www.sweden.gov.se/sb/d/2059 http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/coming_to_dk.htm

If you work in Sweden or Denmark while visiting as a "student" you will be sent home to Pakistan promptly. (I checked out your website and it seems you are from Pakistan).

If you have a visa for Sweden you would not be allowed to work in Denmark. You'd have to apply for a separate Danish work visa.

Can I use my US Wii in Sweden

Can I use my US Wii in Sweden?
Greetings, I was wondering if I took my US Wii to Sweden if it would work? I know I will need an adaptor for the plug, but what about the video and audio output/input plugs for the TV? Thanks.

All you should need is the main power adapter, which you already know about. Should work fine!

No, and they clearly state that in many different places. The cost of living in Scandinavia is absolutely unbelievable, compared to what we pay in America. And depending on your VISA you will only be able to work 20 hours a week. But, unless you are fluent in Swedish, there is a very slim chance that you will be able to find a job, even in fast food. Also, if you are going for graduate studies the immigration office may not let you work at all.

No, it is not possible to work to cover living expenses. As a University student, you will need SEK 7,300,- /month guaranteed funding in order to get a residence permit in the first place, according to the Swedish Migration Board. You will be allowed to work, but if you fail to get all your credits for the term, your residence permit may be revoked. Check the Swedish Migration Board site, link below, for further info. Make sure you have all the necessary permits in order before travelling to Sweden. Universities always recommend that you don't work at all, you will have a hard enough time keeping up with your studies. You will be expected to dedicate a minimum of 40 hours/week on your studies in order to succeed and get your required credits. Check with your Programme co-ordinator or similar, but I'm sure they'll convey the same message. Eventually, you may be able to get part time work on weekends and earn some extra pocket money, but jobs available for non-Swedish speakers are few and far between. Cleaning offices, washing dishes in restaurants or delivering newspapers are jobs that only require a rudimentary knowledge in Swedish, but they don't pay more than SEK 100-130/hour gross. 30% income tax is deducted automatically by your employer unless you have been granted a tax rebate.
