Well, that's me... probably SEK 300k/year expenses... so about 60k to 80k extra points via AMEX. Hardly worth investigating. But have been burned by SKV before...

Yepp.... working for my last employer, they used pay-role services in Sweden and every year I reported on very old and dormant pension insurance I do have in Germany. For many years nothing happened but like 5 years ago I got a letter form SKV that they want to investigate me since the pay-role service obviously did not report the insurance correctly in one of the years. After a very lengthy processes, and paying 5.000 SEK for a tax lawyer to sort this out, I got the bill from SKV: 90... in words... NINTY SEK in taxes to be paid.

Was just lucky that my employer picked up the invoices from tax laywer.
