- Sweden has approved “online audit” powers letting the Tax Agency inspect business accounting records directly through the internet, including cloud and third-party systems.
- This removes the current rule that forces auditors to request exported copies, aiming to reduce admin work, errors, and data manipulation.
- From 1 April 2026, auditors may remotely review digital bookkeeping, VAT ledgers, and supporting documents in live systems.
- The change does not create real-time tax reporting; it instead lets authorities access data in taxpayers’ own systems, aligning with broader e-invoicing developments.
- Possible implementation includes read-only cloud access, APIs, and third-party connectors, with details on cooperation, data limits, and logging to be set later.
