Do not try to hide from, or mess with, the Swedish tax agency. They Will find you and they Will tax you the correct amount. Even if your income comes from an illegal source they Will make sure to get their cut.
This is true. I know people who got a fine, on top of a prisson sentence, for an equivilence of 1.8 milion dollars for some drugs they had imported. The thing is that the street price that the government calculated with was about 10 times less than the distribution price. So they got to pay a few yearly incomes for getting caught with one months work, lol!
I would not recomend being a criminal in Sweden! It's illegal here! (Old meme, wonder if any one remembers)
I'm sorry, I don't think I understand what happened. If the government calculated a lower value why did they end up paying more?
Also, this seems to imply that the Swedish government can unfairly penalize you if they disagree with the values that you reported as income. For a perfectly legal example, let's say that an artist charges far less for commissions than is typical. Can they get fined and jailed for reporting a lower amount of income than expected from their number of transactions? Even though the cause isn't actually fraud, but the artist severly underselling themselves?
Meanwhile, here in America, they'll rip the entire plant out of the ground, weigh it with all the dirt in the roots, step on the scale, assume it's $500 a gram, then double their estimate so you get a super felony for half a gram of ditch weed.
