Every year the Swedish Tax Agency sends out the income tax return for the previous income year. For many, it is a time of joy in that it means you get to know exactly how much you will get back in tax refunds. For others, it is less fun if you are told to pay back taxes.
This year, the Swedish Tax Agency started the first payments of the refund already in April. The next payment was then made in June.

The Swedish Tax Agency: Then you must pay residual tax
As it recently became time for many to pay back the residual tax, the authority chose to address an invitation to those who have not yet paid the money.
On its website, the Swedish Tax Agency has informed those who received the final tax notice in June and have not yet paid the money what they should think about.
“You who received your final tax notice in June and have tax to pay must have made the payment to your tax account by today. You can pay either with Swish or via bank giro,” they wrote on their website.
The dates for those who must pay back taxes in 2024 are:

In total, there are 650,000 people who must pay back taxes to the authority by September 12 at the latest. Of these, fully 220,000 people are over the age of 65 and must pay a total of SEK 3.2 billion in back taxes.
The reason why so many are over 65, says the Tax Agency’s section manager Alem Resulovic has to do with the changed target age.
– With the changed target age for pension, it is even more important to look at how the pension affects the tax you have to pay, he tells the newspaper The senior.
Resulovic further explains to the newspaper that since the target age has changed, it is important that each individual takes this into account if they choose to continue working while drawing all or part of the pension.
– If it is the case that you draw your pension and also receive compensation at the same time from salary, it is important to make a calculation if you pay enough tax during the income year, he concludes by saying.
