For how long does SK keep ticket receipt info around? I assume a bunch of that will show which form of payment was used for the card purchases, and that may provide some indication of whether or not a SK ticket used to credit SK flights to SK program accounts was a work-paid trip. But a lot of the points earned in SK accounts come from non-SK tickets too.

You were probably subject to tax in Sweden on all income from when you became a tax resident in Sweden and perhaps subject to Swedish taxation on Swedish income before that. So you'll definitely want to cover the last 4 months of 2017.

Maybe these guys should start looking at how the kids around Möllevången in Malmö can be driving around in the cars they have. More potential for sniffing out real tax crimes (not to mention real crimes of other types), but they know that Sven and Gunnar won't shoot them.
The Swedish police are on those things that Skatteverket doesn't dive into directly with the ladies and gentlemen in business casual attire at the office and elsewhere when it comes to financial crimes. Car purchases don't go unnoticed. And car leases are a dime a dozen around there, funded often by Forsakringkassan over the years or a group of kids pooling their money together with an older relative leasing the cars.
Speaking of pooling, what's going on with the SK family pooling? Can using the pooling in 2021 help balance the "employer-paid" points accumulated and used on personal travel in 2017? Points don't accumulate interest so is merely not having to pay interest on borrowing points for use in 2017 against future points earnings a tax liability in the 2017 tax year?
If they institute a wealth tax again in Sweden, will points hoardings be considered an electronic form of wealth subject to taxation for holding too regardless of source of those points?
