- Sweden enables “online audits”: From 1 April 2026, the Swedish Tax Agency (Skatteverket) can remotely inspect businesses’ accounting, VAT ledgers, and supporting documents directly in live cloud or third‑party systems, ending the requirement for taxpayer-exported copies.
- Part of a global digital tax control trend: The move aligns Sweden with models like the UK’s Making Tax Digital and Greece’s myDATA—shifting audits from static documents to system‑based data access—while stopping short of creating a centralised reporting platform.
- Implications for e‑invoicing and compliance: Although not an e‑invoicing mandate, the reform supports Sweden’s broader digital trajectory, strengthening data integrity, reducing audit burden for compliant taxpayers, and paving the way for future structured e‑invoicing or near‑real‑time reporting decisions.
