Hur betalas preliminär inkomstskatt normalt för en anställd med A-skatt?
How is preliminary income tax normally paid for an employee with A-tax?
Correct answer: The employer withholds tax from pay and remits it
The employer normally withholds tax before paying wages and sends it to Skatteverket, the Tax Agency. Final tax is later calculated using the year’s information.

Why this option does not fit
Den anställde betalar hela skatten först efter deklarationen
For A-tax employees, preliminary tax is normally withheld regularly; final tax is calculated later.
Den anställde betalar löpande F-skatt på lönen
F-tax concerns business activity, not the usual arrangement for A-tax wages.
Banken drar skatt när lönen kommer in på kontot
The bank receives the wage payment but does not normally perform the employer’s tax withholding.
