All the dates regarding your declaration that you need to keep track of

It’s time to declare again and there are some dates that are important to keep track of when it comes to your income tax return. Here’s the list of dates about when and what applies when you have to declare your taxes.

March

• March 4-8 – everyone with a digital mailbox will have their declaration sent there during this period. After March 8, the declaration is also available to everyone on My Pages at the Swedish Tax Agency. There, you can access a pdf file of your income tax return that you can check but not make changes to.
• March 15 – April 15 – if you don’t have a digital mailbox, you’ll receive your income tax return in the mail during this period. But by using e-identification, you can still access your declaration on My Pages at the Swedish Tax Agency. You can even declare starting March 19 regardless of whether you’ve received your declaration by post or not.
• March 19 – now you can declare, that is, you can make the changes you want to make or just accept the declaration as it is. To do this, you’ll need to log in to the Swedish Tax Agency’s e-service Income declaration 1.

April

• April 3 – if you’re going to get money back on your taxes and want the money as soon as possible in April, you need to approve your tax return now. But you can only get your money in April if you approve the declaration without changing it in any way. And only if you approve the declaration digitally.
• April 8-12 – this week you’ll receive your final tax notice if you’ve approved your tax return by April 3. You can see this as a confirmation that your declaration is finished and approved and finished. If you’re going to get money back on your taxes, you’ll get them between 9-12 April. If you instead have to pay more tax, you need to do so by July 12 at the latest.

May

• May 2 – this is the last day to submit your income tax return as long as you haven’t been granted an extension of time to submit the tax return. That is, as long as you haven’t been approved by the Swedish Tax Agency that you can submit your tax return after May 2. If you don’t submit your return on time and you were born in 1959 or later, you may have to pay a late fee of SEK 1,250 or more, depending on when you submit your tax return.
• May 3 – if you have a maximum of SEK 30,000 in tax left to pay, you have to make an extra payment to your tax account now to avoid paying cost interest as well.
• May 16 – if you’ve been granted an extension to submit the tax return later than May 2, you have to submit it now.

June

• June 3-7 – if you declared May 2 at the latest and your tax return is approved, you’ll receive your final tax notice to your digital mailbox now. Otherwise, it will arrive by post 1-3 weeks later. If you’re getting money back on your tax, you’ll receive the money in your account between June 4-7. If, however, you still have tax to pay, you have to have made the payment by September 12 at the latest. The exact date that applies in your case is stated in your final tax statement. But it’s usually 90 days from the date the Swedish Tax Agency sends your final tax statement.
• June 17 – if the Tax Agency has given you an extension to submit your tax return through your accounting firm, this is the last day to declare. This is called an agency deferral and means that your accounting agency has been approved to submit your return later than May 2.

July

• July 12 – if you have taxes left to pay and approved your income tax return back in April and received the final tax notice in the same month, you have to make a payment by this date. The exact date that applies in your case is stated in your final tax statement and is 90 days from the date the Swedish Tax Agency sent your final tax statement.

August

• 5-9 August – you will now receive your final tax notice to your digital mailbox if you didn’t receive it in April or June and declared by May 2. If you don’t have a digital mailbox, you’ll instead receive the final tax notice in the mail 1-3 weeks later. If you also have tax to be refunded, the money will land in your account between August 6-9. If you instead have tax left to pay, you have to make a payment by November 12 at the latest. The exact date that applies in your case is stated in your final tax statement. But it’s usually 90 days from the date the Swedish Tax Agency sends your final tax statement.

December

• December 2-6 – if you haven’t received your final tax statement earlier in the year, or if you lack tax registration in Sweden, you’ll receive your final tax statement to your digital mailbox now. If you don’t have a digital mailbox, you’ll instead receive it in the mail 1-3 weeks later. If you’re going to get money back on your taxes, you’ll receive the money in your account between December 3-6. If, however, you still have tax to pay, you have to have made a payment no later than March 12, 2025. The exact date that applies in your case is stated in your final tax statement. But it’s usually 90 days from the date the Swedish Tax Agency sends your final tax statement.
