But then I remember in 2015, they ordered a tax audit based on the fact that the capital gain on one of my private capital based life insurances in Germany (with a tiny 4 digit EUR amount in value and being dormant for years) was reported wrongly by our payroll services. SKV enforced a full review and after months of back and forth with my tax lawyer which did cost me (or better my company) thousands of dollars in lawyer fees they send me their decision: I had to pay 93 SEK in taxes for the previous 3 years. No joke. Which shows, they can be unrelenting.

Why do you think so, what is so special about those younger members? To be honest, I do not read in that forum too often.
Those young members tend to have a lot of EB points via card churning (honestly I don't know how they churn that kind of $). Think about manufacturing 100k spending on one card (they probably have more than one) their bank accounts might get flagged by SKV. One told me that he lives in a small apartment in Stockholm that he only pays 3000kr a year in electricity and I don't think they are big business owner so the income and their money movement doesn't match.
