In Sweden, fiscal control units must be kept for at least 12 months after a cash register is sold, scrapped, or replaced to ensure access to historical transaction data and maintain compliance.
-
Control units are required to store at least five years of data, but if full capacity is reached earlier, the unit is deemed broken and may be replaced according to regulations.
-
Under SKVFS 2009:2, businesses can buy new control units, provided the old unit is preserved for the mandatory 12-month retention period, ensuring uninterrupted record availability.
-
Authorities prohibit emptying control units to guarantee transaction data remains accessible, emphasizing strict adherence to storage and replacement rules to avoid penalties and support transparent bookkeeping.
