- The Swedish Tax Authority (Skatteverket) may soon be allowed to conduct audits via online access to company records, starting 1 April 2026.
- The proposal aims to simplify inspections, reduce administrative burdens, improve accuracy, and prevent document tampering.
- Companies using cloud or external servers must provide Skatteverket real-time access; seizure of technical tools or credentials is permitted if needed.
- The definition of “risk of sabotage” will be broadened to include hiding or destroying audit access tools or credentials.
- Data handling during audits must comply with GDPR, Swedish secrecy laws, and EU confidentiality regulations.
