(edit title) Refund for Swedish PAYE taxes paid while in UK Is it possible? Options

[s_b]

I am a UK citizen. After living and working and paying taxes in Sweden for 2 years, I returned to the UK in Dec 2010 (though my notification to Skatteverket (SKV) was recorded as 5 January 2011) . I continued to work for my Swedish employer (remotely, from the UK) until March 2011. During this time I continued to be taxed at source in Sweden. HMRC in the UK say (correctly, in my opinion) that I became liable to UK tax upon my return to the UK. So I filed a return in the UK (for the FY ending Apr 2011) and claimed foreign tax credits against my Swedish tax paid. Result: no extra tax payment needed in the UK. Now I am completing my 2011 Swedish return. The printed return from SKV says I owe them about 17000 SEK for the year. There does not appear to be any recognition of my departure from Sweden. On my reading of the double taxation treaty, I should only be taxed in the UK having left Sweden. And therefore I should get a refund for all taxes paid subsequent to my departure (but excluding the foreign tax credits I claimed against my UK tax bill). Does anyone know if this is correct or have personal experience in this area?

Thanks,
Steve

Ring up Skatteverket and ask!

Check that the total income is based upon the months Jan-March. It sounds to Me that Your income was sourced in Sweden, as a non-resident Sweden will tax You on income sourced in Sweden.
