Submit a tax registration certificate

When you start working, you must send an "A Tax" registration certificate to Statens Servicecenter (SSC) salary services so that the correct amount of tax is deducted from your salary.

• Request an “A Tax” certificate via Swedish Tax Agency website
• Read more about work and employment in Sweden: a guide to taxes and population registration (Swedish Tax Agency)
• Link to SSC Portal is to be found in n the right-hand column on this page. 

Your salary is paid per calendar month

Individual salaries along with fixed and variable salary supplements are paid per calendar month.

You receive your salary on the 25th of each month, with certain exceptions:

• When the 25th falls on a Saturday, the payment is made on Friday the 24th.
• When the 25th falls on a Sunday, the payment is made on Monday the 26th.
• When Midsummer Eve falls on the 23rd, 24th or 25th, the payment in June is made on the day before Midsummer Eve.
• In December, the payment is made on the 21st at the earliest. 

Primula and Statens Servicecenter (SSC)

Primula is the University’s staffing and salary system in which you can, for example, see your salary statement, register notification of illness and apply for annual leave. Based on the information in Primula, salary processing is handled by SSC.

You can follow all your Primula cases in the SCC portal. The portal also allows you to access the user guides for Primula and information about current and planned disruptions to Primula. 

You will find the log-in for Primula and the SSC Portal in the right-hand column on this page.

Register a bank account for salary payments

Swedbank handle the University’s salary payments. Therefore, as an employee, you need to ensure that you have the correct bank account registered for salary payments in Swedbank’s register of accounts. This also applies to anyone on sick leave, parental leave, leave of absence, and hourly or temporary employees.

You do not need to be a Swedbank customer to register an account. You can register an account from any Swedish bank in Swedbank’s account register.

If you already are a customer at Swedbank, please log in and check that the correct account number is registered. 

Note that it is not possible to register an account for salary payments at Swedbank’s branches outside Sweden, e.g. in Copenhagen. Nor is it possible to register a bank account for salary payments at branches of Sparbanken Skåne. 

At least a week before the salary payment date

Registration of a bank account needs to be done at least one week before the salary payment date. This period applies regardless of whether the account registration is done digitally within Swedbank’s account register, or through a Swedbank branch. A list of Swedbank’s branches in Skåne is available in the right-hand column on this page.

In the event an account is not registered in time, see If you do not register a bank account for salary payments 

This is how it works:

Log in to Swedbank’s account register using mobile BankID. If you are a customer of Swedbank or one of the other Sparbanken banks, you can log in with your code generator. 

Once you have logged in, you can see whether you already have an existing account connection at Swedbank. 

If you wish to change or add an account connection, state the desired account number (can be with any Swedish bank), and approve it. “Existing connection” is then automatically changed to the account that you changed to or added. 

Link to Swedbank’s account register

You can also register a bank account for salary payments by visiting a Swedbank branch. A list of Swedbank’s branches in Skåne is available in the right-hand column on this page.

If you have difficulty registering from abroad

If you are abroad and attempting to register a Swedish account in Swedbank’s account register (online with mobile BankID) and have problems completing the registration, use the link to Swedbank’s account register provided below instead:

If you do not have BankID with a Swedish personal identity number

If you do not have e-identification with a Swedish personal identity number, you can visit one of Swedbank’s branches and prove your identity with a conventional ID document. A list of Swedbank’s branches in Skåne is available in the right-hand column on this page.

If you have a coordination number

If you are registering a Swedish bank account, you can do so digitally without e-identification, through the link below.

Alternative link to Swedbank’s account register (itella.se)

You can also visit a Swedbank branch and prove your identity with a conventional ID document. A list of Swedbank’s branches in Skåne is available in the right-hand column on this page.

Important to bring the right documents to the bank

Bring the following:

• Valid passport.
• Registry extract from the Swedish Tax Agency, which shows your coordination number. 
• Employment contract/employment decision.  
• Proof of account (IBAN and BIC) – the proof of account certifies that you are a customer of the bank and verifies all account details. You must request the proof of account from your bank. A print-out from your internet bank is not recognised as proof of account by Swedbank.
• Lund University’s SUS agreement number (the number is 042416 and is required to enable your foreign account to be connected to the University’s salary payments).

The bank may require further documentation to complete your application. When the bank has all the documentation, they will contact you to inform you about the next step. If you are uncertain about what further documentation is required, you can ask about this when you visit the bank branch or telephone the bank branch about the matter soon after your visit. 

The same personal identity number or coordination number as in Primula is required

It is important that the personal identity number or coordination number used to register an account for salary payments at Swedbank is the same as the one registered in Primula.

You cannot register a bank account for salary payments at Swedbank using your personal identity number and if your coordination number is still in Primula. You must complete a new registration in Swedbank’s account register when changing from a coordination number to a personal identity number.  

Register a foreign bank account for salary payments

In order to register a foreign bank account for salary payments, you must 

• have a personal identity number or a coordination number
• visit a Swedbank branch in person. This is necessary due to the bank’s ID checking procedure, among other things. A proxy is not accepted by the bank. It is important that you make your purpose clear when you visit a Swedbank branch – i.e. that you want to register a foreign bank account for salary payments.

If you have a Swedish personal identity number but would like to register a foreign account, you will also need to visit a Swedbank branch in person. A list of Swedbank’s branches in Skåne is available in the right-hand column on this page.

Important to bring the right documents to the bank 

Read more about what documents you should bring to the bank.

If you do not register a bank account for salary payments

If you have not registered a bank account for salary payments and you have a Swedish address registered in Primula, your salary will be paid via a payment notice, which you can redeem

• at swedbank.se/kontoregister
• via designated shop agents
• Swedbank branches. A list of Swedbank’s branches in Skåne is available in the right-hand column on this page.

Check that you have the correct home address registered in Primula so that the payment notice is sent to the right place. 

Supplements or deductions

Your manager decides whether salary supplements are to be paid out with your first salary or after the calendar month to which the supplements refer. The same applies to salary deductions.

If a salary deduction cannot be made according to the relevant decision, the employee is responsible for paying in an amount corresponding to the salary deduction in the time and manner determined by the employer.

Make sure to register any absence from work as soon as possible. You will then reduce the risk of incurring a salary liability due to a salary deduction for late registration of absence.

Check your salary statement

Remember to always check your salary statement to make sure all the details are correct. 

You can do this in Primula, or in the digital letterboxes Kivra or Min Myndighetspost

You can download your salary statement from Primula. If you do not have access to Primula (for example, if you are fee-remunerated), you can get your salary statement via Kivra or Min Myndighetspost. To do this requires you to have a Swedish personal identity number and an electronic identification (BankID/Mobile BankID) and that you are connected to Kivra or Min Myndighetspost.

• Kivra – kivra.se 
• Min Myndighetspost – minmyndighetspost.se

If you do not have access to Primula and are not connected to Kivra or Min Myndighetspost, contact your local HR officer or Statens Servicecenter (SSC). Contact details for SSC are provided in the right-hand column on this page.
