Income tax returns for a limited liability company, economic association or cooperative housing association

Limited companies and economic associations, such as cooperative housing associations, must use Income Tax Return 2. The company’s financial year determines when the income tax return must be filed. The filing deadline affects when a company will receive its final tax statement, and when tax arrears must be paid.

Tax return e-service for accountancy firms

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.

My pages (Mina sidor)

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”).

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 we adjust your tax return, your final tax statement will be sent immediately

If the Swedish Tax Agency needs additional information to calculate your final tax, we will get in touch with you about this. If we need to make an adjustment to your tax return, we will send your final tax statement together with the decision notification regarding the adjustment (instead of on the date indicated in the table above). If your company is entitled to a tax refund, and you have registered a bank account, the refund will be paid when your final tax statement is issued. If your company has additional tax to pay, you will have 90 days to make the payment.
