Every year, the Swedish Tax Agency sends out the annual income declaration. Then you have the opportunity to make additions or changes and then sign it.
Then begins the wait for the final final tax notice, which details exactly how much you get back in tax refunds or are forced to pay back to the authority in the form of back taxes.
The call from the Tax Agency: Then you should have applied for a grace period
The authority’s mission is primarily to ensure the financing of the public sector as well as that society functions well for both citizens and businesses.
In order for all information to reach the public, they choose at regular intervals to go out with information on their website and clear calls to make the flow of information as clear as possible regarding what you might need to do.
Examples of such calls are when the Swedish Tax Agency chooses to target those who have to pay back taxes, which every year a lot have to do.
Recently, they wrote about companies that have to apply for tax payment deferrals as a result of the corona pandemic.

Recently, they also issued a call to anyone who tends to receive back taxes. Those who want to correct it and apply for adjustment need to do so by October 1 at the latest, they recently wrote on the website.
If you were to get your application for adjustment approved, this means that your preliminary tax deduction on salary or pension will be adjusted. It also means that you can influence the size of the monthly tax deduction so that it better reflects your actual tax situation – every year.

In addition to urging the public about what applies and when it applies, they also want to try to reach out with information about what happens in the event that, for example, you do not pay the residual tax on time.
News24 recently wrote about the information flow at the authority but also at the Kronofogden.
Namely, on September 12, 650,000 Swedes were to pay the residual tax to the Tax Agency. Then the Kronofogden chose in turn to address those who have not yet paid.
The reason was that if the money was not in the Swedish Tax Agency’s account on the day it was supposed to be paid in, you risked ending up with the Kronofogden and receiving payment notices.

Now the Swedish Tax Agency has once again issued a targeted appeal to the public. And once again, it applies to the possibility of applying for tax adjustment.
The fact is that we are now approaching the last date throughout the year to be able to apply for full-year equalization for 2025.
The date you must have applied by the latest is November 10.
At the same time, they take the opportunity to talk about what will happen if you have not completed the application by then.
“It is possible to apply for adjustment later as well, but then it will not be for the whole year”, they write the website.
