Invoicing in Sweden
How to invoice in Sweden
VAT number, F-skatt, 25% moms, IBAN, Bankgiro and Swish. The fields a Swedish invoice needs, in plain English — no US-style template forced on you.
The shape of a Swedish invoice
Skatteverket (the Swedish Tax Agency) sets out what an invoice must contain. Roughly:
- •A sequential invoice number and the date of issue
- •Your name, address and VAT number (momsregistreringsnummer)
- •A note that you hold F-skatt approval (godkänd för F-skatt)
- •The customer's name and address (and VAT number for B2B and reverse-charge supplies)
- •The quantity and nature of the goods or services, and the date of supply if different
- •The moms rate and amount, the net amount, and the gross total in SEK
For the authoritative current rules, see Skatteverket.
The Sweden-specific fields JupiterInvoice handles
VAT number, F-skatt, and 25% moms
Add your VAT number to your sender profile once and it appears on every invoice. Add an F-skatt note so your client knows you handle your own tax and social contributions. The tax label defaults to moms at 25%; set 12% or 6% per line where they apply.
SEK, IBAN and Bankgiro
Bank details support the Swedish IBAN and a Bankgiro/Plusgiro number with a payment reference, so your client can pay the way Swedish AP teams expect. Click-to-copy to avoid a mistyped number.
Swish, and international
Add a Swish number for instant local pay, the IBAN or Bankgiro for standard transfer, and SWIFT for clients outside Sweden. Whatever rail your client uses, the details are on the invoice.

The bits that actually slow Swedish invoices down
The format is well-defined. The friction is everything around it.
Leaving off the F-skatt note
If your invoice does not state that you are approved for F-skatt, a cautious client may withhold tax or hesitate to pay, because the liability could fall on them. JupiterInvoice carries the F-skatt note on your sender profile so it is always there.
The reverse charge for EU clients
For B2B supplies to a VAT-registered business elsewhere in the EU you generally charge 0% moms and the customer accounts for the VAT. The invoice must show both VAT numbers and a reverse-charge note. JupiterInvoice supports a 0% line with that wording.
PO numbers and references from larger clients
Bigger companies and the public sector want a PO or reference on the invoice before AP will pay. JupiterInvoice lets your client add it directly without you reissuing the document.
Enskild firma vs aktiebolag
Clients sometimes mix up whether they are paying your sole trader business or your AB. JupiterInvoice carries multiple sender profiles so you invoice as the right entity each time.
