When you work in Sweden, you pay Swedish tax on your salary. As a daily commuter, you are usually taxed according to the SINK tax scheme, but you can choose to be taxed according to the standard Swedish income tax rules. If you do not already have a Swedish personal identity number, you will also need a coordination number, which you can apply for at the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket).
