The money will be paid out 5-6 April to those who have approved digitally without changes or additions no later than 30 March and who have reported a bank account to the Swedish Tax Agency. This year, the refund is larger than usual – SEK 27.3 billion will be distributed among three million Swedes. This is five billion more than at the same time last year. More people have been diligent in filing their tax returns this year than last year, according to Ulf Nilsson.
"Over half a million more people have filed their tax returns this year compared to the same period last year. Then there will be more money back, says Ulf Nilsson.

New for this year is that the Swedish Tax Agency will claim back the back tax as early as September instead of November.
"This year, we are processing all tax returns at the same time instead of dividing them into whether you should pay or get money back," says Ulf Nilsson.
