In an update dated 18 August 2026, Skatteverket reports that the administrative court of appeal applied Article 18 of Sweden’s tax treaty with Spain to payments from a profit-sharing foundation. The linked case commentary concerns Oktogonen and cases 3719–3721-24.Skatteverket
The same update states that Skatteverket considers Article 15 applicable and has appealed to the Supreme Administrative Court. The source therefore records a dispute, rather than an accepted change in the agency’s view. Advisers should check the appeal and treaty position for the particular payment before relying on pension classification.Skatteverket
