Register a digital mailbox and get your income tax return earlier
Companies that have a digital mailbox receive their income tax return as a PDF file, at least one week earlier than companies that receive the printed version. In addition, the final date for filing the return is one month later for companies that file their tax returns digitally.
How to file your income tax return
If you file your company’s income tax return yourself using a software program (file transfer e-service)
If you have a tax return software program that can create SRU files, you can use our improved service for file transfer. Please follow these steps:
- Submit your details
Submit all information digitally via our file transfer e-service, i.e. the main form, annexes and additional information.
- Sign
Log into “My pages” (“Mina sidor”) with your BankID to review and sign your income tax return. The return can be signed by an authorised signatory or tax return agent.
If the company has several signatories who must all sign on behalf of the company, you must register one of the signatories as a tax return agent.
- Confirmation
When you have signed your tax return, you will receive a confirmation that it has been filed.
If you file the company’s income tax return yourself without using a software program

If you assist companies with their tax returns, you can easily submit all information digitally to the Swedish Tax Agency via our improved file transfer service.
Please follow these steps:
- Submit the details
Submit all information digitally via our file transfer e-service, i.e. the main form, annexes and additional information.
- Sign
If you are a registered tax return agent, you can log into “My pages” (“Mina sidor”) using your BankID to sign the income tax return. Alternatively, inform your client that the income tax return is ready to be reviewed and signed by an authorised signatory.
- Confirmation
When the income tax return is signed, you will receive a confirmation that it has been filed.
Further information
Here you can find out more about the income tax return e-service, which you can also use if you assist companies with Income Tax Return 1.
If you receive assistance from an accountancy firm
If you receive assistance from an accountancy firm, you should discuss how to file your tax return with them first. This is how the process works when filing a tax return using our e-service:
- Submit the details
Your agency submits all the information to the Swedish Tax Agency, i.e. the main form, annexes and additional information. - Sign
Once your accountancy firm has submitted all the information, the declaration must be signed in “My pages” (“Mina sidor”) on the Swedish Tax Agency website. This can be done by an authorised signatory or by your accountancy firm if it is registered as a tax return agent.
Your agency may choose not to submit the main form to “My pages” (“Mina sidor”) for signature. In this case, you will need to sign it in another way (either via the “Income Tax Return 2” e-service or on paper). Your accountancy firm should inform you of how to sign your tax return.
- Confirmation
Once the tax return has been signed digitally by you or your accountancy firm, the e-service will send an automated confirmation that the tax return has been filed.
On this page, there is a help video that shows you how to sign your tax return in “My pages” (“Mina sidor”).
Submitting an income tax return on paper
Please post the full completed income tax return, i.e. the main form and any annexes, to this address:

If you have a digital mailbox but still wish file your tax return on paper, you can print out the tax return you received in your digital mailbox.
If you are a partner in a company, please submit annexe K10
If you are a partner in a closely held company (for example, a smaller limited company with up to four owners), you must file annexe K10 together with your private income tax return.
What is the deadline for filing my income tax return?
The deadline for filing is determined by your company’s financial year and whether you file your tax return digitally or on paper. The deadline for digital tax returns is one month later than for returns on paper.
The table below shows the different filing deadlines.
What counts as a digitally filed tax return?
For Income Tax Return 2 to be counted as digitally filed, you must submit all parts of the tax return digitally.
The easiest way to do this is by submitting the entire tax return, i.e. the main form and any annexes, using our file transfer service. You then sign your tax return in “My pages” (“Mina sidor”) on the Swedish Tax Agency website. To use the file transfer service, you need a tax return software program that can generate SRU files.
You can also file a tax return digitally by following this procedure:
- Submit the main form via the “Income Tax Return 2” e-service.
- Account scheme (INK2R), Tax adjustments (INK2S) and other annexes (e.g. N3B, N7, N8 and Other information) must be submitted via the file transfer service. To use the file transfer service, you need a tax return software program that can generate SRU files.
If you need to provide information that does not fit in the free text annexe or cannot be attached to it, for example a contract or an annual report, you can send this information on paper. You tax return will still count as being filed digitally. Please note that you cannot attach PDF files to your income tax return.

If your company has additional tax to pay, you will have 90 days to make the payment.
