Tax Declaration in Sweden and Important Dates

A record number of people filed digitally in 2024, and it's unlikely to decrease in 2025. Filing digitally is both safer and faster, which is why we see an increase every year. The trend is that more and more people file earlier, which also means they can get their tax refund earlier.

How do you know if you need to file a tax declaration?

If you've received a tax return form, you need to file a tax declaration. If you have a digital mailbox, you'll receive the declaration there; otherwise, it will be sent to your registered address.
