Tax account – Pay tax
If you are liable for Swedish income tax, you are expected to pay the tax which is stated in your income declaration.
Use our e-services (in Swedish)
- You can log in to our tax account e-service (Skattekonto) to view your current balance and all booked and upcoming transactions, and to check or register a bank account (requires Swedish e-identification)
- Our e-service "OCR Beräkning" will generate your unique OCR number on request. You will need this OCR number when making payments to your tax account.
- You can use our e-service "Räkna ut din skatt" to help you calculate your tax if you sell a property, own a business, or want to work out your monthly salary after tax. You can also calculate your ROT (repairs, conversion and extension) and RUT (cleaning, maintenance and laundry) deductions
How your tax account works
Everyone who has to pay any form of tax to the Swedish Tax Agency is assigned a personal tax account. The tax account summarizes your tax payments, your preliminary tax as shown by income statements and your final tax as shown by your final tax statement.
You can make payment to your tax account at any time, for example when you want to make a payment to cover future taxes, or to avoid interest expenses. A payment cannot be reserved for a specific tax or charge as it is set off against the total deficit on the tax account.
How to pay
Pay through your bank
You can make payment to your tax account by paying through your bank over the Internet.
Swedish Tax Agencys bank giro account: 5050 - 1055
In order for Swedish Tax Agency to credit your payment, you must cite your personal identification number or organisation registration number or special registration number or your OCR-number.
If you cite your personal identification number or organisation number or special registration number it should be in the following format: xxxxxx-xxxx.

Pay by using Swish
You can pay up to a maximum of SEK 40,000 per day into your tax account using Swish. You can either log in via My Pages (Mina sidor) or the tax account e-service Skattekonto itself, then follow the instructions.
We cannot accept cheque payments, all payments must be made via deposit into the account of the Swedish Tax Agency.
When to pay
A payment has to be made and recorded in the Swedish Tax Agency's account no later than on the due date. Therefore, it is not enough to make the payment as late as on the due date.
There are fixed due dates for payments of tax. Generally, the due date for the payment of any preliminary tax is either on the 12th of each month. In January and August the due date is on the 17th.
You always have at least 90 days to pay from the date of decision shown on the final tax statement. The due date is shown in the calculation you receive together with the final tax statement. If you wish to avoid interest expenses you can pay earlier.
