If you file your Swedish taxes digitally by April 2nd without making any changes to the form, you'll get your rebate between April 8th and April 11th – a week before Easter.
But only if you meet the following conditions.
Everything in your tax statement is already correct
You don't have to make any corrections to the tax declaration form, which has already been filled out for you by the Swedish Tax Agency, known as Skatteverket in Swedish.
If any of the information is incorrect, you should contact the organisation behind it, which may be your employer, and make sure they provide the correct information.
You don't want to make any deductions
It may be tempting to send in the form as is and get your tax rebate by Easter, but you can save a lot of money if you're eligible for any of the many deductions available.
You're actually due money back
Your tax declaration tells you whether you are due a tax rebate (skatteåterbäring in Swedish) or in fact still owe Skatteverket more money (kvarskatt in Swedish).
If you have residual tax to pay, you have to pay it by July 14th if you receive your final tax statement (slutskattebesked) in April; by September 12th if you receive it in June; or by November 12th if you receive it in August. If your residual taxes are less than 100 kronor you can put them off until next year if they then exceed 100 kronor.

You're declaring digitally
If you have an e-ID you can log into your account at Skatteverket and approve the declaration. You can also approve it by text message or calling their automated service.
If you don't meet the above conditions, the overall submission deadline is May 2nd. Everyone who meets this deadline will receive their tax rebate by June 3rd to 5th.
