Most of Sweden wants digital tax returns
More than 5.8 million Swedes receive their tax return in Kivra. It’s a no-brainer, really – no paper stacks to keep track of, just an app and 24/7 access.
Why do so many prefer it digitally?
Up to a month sooner
Skip unnecessary waiting! You’ll receive the tax return sometime between March 6-10, which is earlier than by paper mail.
Always close at hand
Anywhere, anytime. Perfect for flexible lifestyles.
Kind on the environment
Is turning trees into declaration forms really necessary? You (and millions of others) decide! Luckily, we have a really good option.
When will you receive the tax return?
That obviously depends on whether you receive it digitally or on paper. If you get Kivra before March 3, you’ll get it between March 4-8. In comparison, the paper version will arrive between March 15 and April 15. That also applies to anyone who has switched off mail from authorities or the Swedish Tax Agency in the Kivra app. You can easily switch those back on in the app.

How to fill your tax returns at Skatteverket
Often, it's easier than you think. If you make no changes, you can actually declare with just a few clicks. First, you get Kivra, then it works like this:
Verify, make changes, and approve.
Review the tax declaration form and verify that all information is correct. Does everything look right? Then you can easily approve the declaration using the Swedish Tax Agency's e-service or app. To approve, you need a Mobile BankID. If any adjustments are needed, you can make additions or changes. This might be necessary, for example, if you have sold a property or are a business owner. Learn more about how it works at the Swedish Tax Agency.
Time for the final tax assessment.
Once you have submitted your tax declaration, the Swedish Tax Agency will review your information and calculate your final tax. You will find out about this in your final tax assessment.
Receive a tax refund or pay outstanding tax.
Are you expecting a refund? The tax refund will be paid directly to you if you have registered your bank account with the Swedish Tax Agency. If you instead owe tax, you can pay it into the Swedish Tax Agency's bankgiro or via Swish.
What about standard reductions?
Good question. If you know the answer, this is not for you. But if you think the declaration might be a bit complicated in terms of language, we have translated some concepts into sentences you can understand.
Are you a business owner?
Then, of course, the tax return looks a little different. Read more here about the company declaration and how our Business Mailbox simplifies your everyday life at work.
