F-skatt
F-skatt is a Swedish tax approval showing that a business or self-employed person is responsible for paying its own preliminary tax and social contributions for covered work. Skatteverket instructs approved businesses to state “Godkänd för F-skatt” on invoices. The status is separate from the organisation number and VAT registration, and it can change over time.
Why this matters when you invoice
For a seller whose F-tax approval applies, the invoice communicates that status using the expected wording. Because approval can change, the seller should treat it as a current status rather than a permanent property of the organisation number.
Where it appears
The phrase “Godkänd för F-skatt” belongs with seller information on a Swedish invoice when the business is approved and the guidance applies.
Record a status you have already confirmed
A Swedish consultant is approved for F-skatt and creates an invoice for services. The seller enables the relevant status in the invoice details so the document shows “Godkänd för F-skatt”. The software does not decide whether the seller is currently approved.
Common mistakes
- Assuming an organisationsnummer proves F-tax approval.
- Adding F-tax wording without confirming the current seller status.
- Confusing F-skatt with VAT registration.
Create a Swedish invoice
Use the Swedish editor to record your seller information and confirmed F-tax status.
InvoiceCraftly does not determine whether a seller is approved for F-tax; confirm current status with the Swedish Tax Agency when it matters.
