Received a letter or questions from Skatteverket, the Swedish Tax Agency? We help individuals, international businesses and owners understand what is being requested, organise the supporting documents and prepare a clear response.
Swedish tax correspondence can be difficult to navigate when you live abroad, work across borders or keep records in another country. We explain the questions in English, put them in context and help you plan the next steps with the response deadline in mind.

-
Organise records and explanations
We help identify the relevant documents and reconcile the facts with returns, accounting records and information held abroad.

Prepare the response and next steps
We agree how the reply and any contact with Skatteverket will be handled, including any authorisation needed. The authority makes its own assessment.
Understanding Swedish tax correspondence
Frequently asked questions about enquiries from Skatteverket
What should I do when I receive questions from Skatteverket?
Read the complete letter, note the response deadline and preserve relevant records. Identify the tax period and the information requested. We can help you understand the request before preparing a factual response.
Does a request for information mean that I have done something wrong?
Not necessarily. The request means that Skatteverket wants further information or an explanation. What happens next depends on the facts and supporting documents; a question alone does not establish that an error has been made.
Can you help if the letter is in Swedish?
Yes. We can explain the request in English and help you prepare the information needed for a response. We agree how correspondence and any translations will be handled. We do not promise that Skatteverket will conduct the whole case in English.
What if the response deadline is close?
Contact us promptly and give the exact response date. Whether we can assist in time depends on the scope and available records. A request for more time must be addressed to Skatteverket; contacting or registering with us does not extend the deadline.
Which documents will you need?
Start with the complete request and the returns or information it refers to. Relevant documents may include accounts, invoices, contracts, bank statements, calculations and foreign tax records. We help identify what is needed and agree a suitable way to share it.
Can you help foreign companies and people living outside Sweden?
Yes. We assist international businesses, owners and individuals with Swedish tax questions. Explain the countries involved, your Swedish activities and any records or advisers abroad, so we can consider the whole situation.
Can Skattepunkten contact Skatteverket on my behalf?
We can discuss an appropriate arrangement for the assignment, including any authority or power of attorney required. Client registration alone does not appoint us as your representative or mean that a reply has been submitted.
What if an earlier tax return needs to be corrected?
We assess whether information needs to be corrected or supplemented and which procedure applies. Once Skatteverket has raised questions, do not assume that a correction qualifies as a disclosure made on your own initiative or automatically avoids penalties.
What if I have received a proposed or final decision?
Tell us whether the document is a request, a proposed decision or a decision already made. These can require different steps and deadlines. We can review the position and, where relevant, discuss reassessment or an appeal as a separate part of the assignment.
How do we get started, and what will it cost?
Start by telling us what Skatteverket has asked for and when a response is due. After reviewing the scope and available information, we can discuss the work, timing and fee basis. We do not guarantee a particular tax outcome.
