Part-time employed, looking to self-pub, hobbyverksamhet or sole-trader?

Body

Hello,

I'm a Canadian with family residency in Sweden since 2011.

Currently I am working part time and this is 100% of my income

I also write as a hobby but would like to self-publish. I don't think I will be making more than a 50,000 profit at first so I'm wondering if this is covered under hobby-income.

I worry because I will be participating in behavior that seems to be considered business behavior, such as intention to continue business long term, marketing, and expenses and investments typical to businesses.

Hello,

Since you have an intention of making a profit it is not considered to be a hobby but a business.

But the truth is that it is better to have a business since it is easier to make deductions in a business compared to hobby.

Kind regards

Daniel
