If you have sold stocks, funds, or property, it may be a good idea to review your taxes. On the Swedish Tax Agency’s website, there is a calculator where you can easily input the numbers and see what tax you can expect.
### 2.5% interest is starting to accrue
If you have paid too little in tax and know that you have more than 30,000 SEK in tax arrears, it may be worth making a payment. Starting next week – on February 12th – a 2.5% interest rate will start accruing. And it could end up being unnecessarily expensive. If, against all odds, you pay too much, you will get the money back later.
On “My Pages” on the Swedish Tax Agency’s website, you can see your income for the year and how much tax you have paid so far.
### Get the money back as early as April
If you only need to approve your tax return, you can do so by logging in with your e-identification on the Swedish Tax Agency’s e-service. If you approve the tax return without making any changes or adding information by April 2nd, you can get a refund between April 8th and 11th.
If you have a digital mailbox, your income tax return will be sent there between March 3rd and 7th. If you do not have a digital mailbox, the tax return will be sent to your registered address instead. Therefore, make sure to be registered at the correct address by February 27th. Paper tax returns will start to be sent out in mid-March, and everyone should have received their tax return by April 15th.
You can start filing your tax return from March 18th. The deadline for filing is May 2, 2025.
