Here you can find information about what applies to repayment and what instalment plans we have, how to appeal a decision and what happens if you do not pay the money back.
If you have received too much pension or other compensation
If you discover that you have received too much pension or other compensation, you must report it to the Swedish Pensions Agency.
If you have received too much money from us, you may be liable for repayment of the incorrect amount paid out. This applies regardless of whether it is we or you who caused the incorrect payment. When we or you discover that your pension or other compensation has been paid incorrectly, we will investigate whether you will be liable to reimburse the money.
Changed rules for repayment
On January 1, 2019, the rules on reports to the Swedish Tax Agency were changed. The Swedish Pensions Agency must report how much pension or other compensation has been paid out and how tax has been deducted for each person each month. The tax deduction is part of the payment and when a tax deduction has been paid to the Swedish Tax Agency, the Swedish Pensions Agency can no longer regulate the tax deduction.
The new rules mean that the person who becomes liable for repayment must pay back the full incorrect payment, in other words the incorrect payment plus the tax that was paid to the Swedish Tax Agency.
The purpose of the changed tax rules is, amongst other things, that you should always be able to see what the Swedish Pensions Agency has reported to the Swedish Tax Agency regarding paid pension or compensation and tax deductions. You can see this by logging in to My pages on the Swedish Tax Agency's website.
You will get your tax money back if there is a surplus in your tax account when the Swedish Tax Agency has decided on your final tax for this year. This will be done the following year. If you are not able to wait until the following year and have further questions about your tax deduction, you can contact the Swedish Tax Agency. Rules for tax refund on skatteverket.se
