Section 2 -- Required inputs and refusal catalogue

Required inputs

• Minimum viable inputs — bank statement for the tax year in CSV, PDF, or pasted text. Must cover 1 January to 31 December. Acceptable from any Swedish bank: Handelsbanken, SEB, Swedbank, Nordea, Danske Bank, Länsförsäkringar, Skandiabanken, or fintech banks (Revolut, Wise, N26).
• Recommended inputs — sales invoices for the year, purchase invoices for any expense above SEK 10,000, municipality of residence, NE-bilaga from prior year (for loss carry-forward and räntefördelning basis).
• Ideal inputs — complete bookkeeping (verifikationer), balance sheet for räntefördelning/expansionsfond calculations, prior year Inkomstdeklaration 1, F-skatt registration confirmation.
• Refusal policy if minimum is missing — SOFT WARN. If no bank statement is available at all, hard stop. If bank statement only without invoices, proceed but record in the reviewer brief: "This NE-bilaga was produced from bank statement alone. The reviewer must verify that expense classifications are correct and that capital items have been properly identified."

Refusal catalogue

• R-SE-1 -- Aktiebolag (AB) instead of enskild firma — Trigger: client operates through an AB (limited company). Message: "This skill covers enskild firma (sole proprietorship) only. AB taxation follows the corporate income tax rules (22% bolagsskatt) and different filing forms. Please use a separate skill or consult an auktoriserad revisor."
• R-SE-2 -- 3:12 rules (fåmansbolag) — Trigger: client has a closely held company and asks about dividend taxation under 3:12 rules. Message: "The 3:12 rules for fåmansbolag are outside the scope of this skill. Please consult an auktoriserad revisor."
• R-SE-3 -- International income — Trigger: client has significant foreign-source income or asks about tax treaty application. Message: "International income and tax treaty questions are outside this skill's scope. Please consult a qualified tax advisor."
• R-SE-4 -- Handelsbolag / kommanditbolag — Trigger: client operates through a partnership. Message: "Partnership taxation has specific rules for income allocation between partners. This skill covers enskild firma only."

Section 3 -- Transaction pattern library (the lookup table)

This is the deterministic pre-classifier for income tax purposes. When a transaction's counterparty matches a pattern in this table, apply the treatment directly. Do not second-guess. If none match, fall through to Tier 1 rules in Section 5.

How to read this table. Match by case-insensitive substring on the counterparty name as it appears in the bank statement. If multiple patterns match, use the most specific.

Section 4 -- Worked examples

These are four fully worked income tax classifications drawn from a hypothetical Swedish enskild firma IT consultant.

Example 1 -- SaaS subscription (reverse charge moms interaction)

Input line: 2025-03-15 ; GOOGLE IRELAND LIMITED ; DEBIT ; Google Workspace ; -1,200.00 SEK

Reasoning: Google Ireland Ltd is an EU entity (Section 3.5). The consultant is momsregistrerad. Reverse charge moms applies -- the consultant reports output moms and claims input moms on the momsdeklaration (net zero). For income tax purposes, the expense is deductible at the net amount (SEK 1,200). Moms is NOT included in R1 revenue or expense costs.

Classification: Deductible business expense, R3--R6 (software/IT). Amount: SEK 1,200.

Example 2 -- Capital equipment above threshold

Input line: 2025-06-20 ; ELGIGANTEN ; DEBIT ; MacBook Pro 14" ; -22,990.00 SEK

Reasoning: SEK 22,990 exceeds half prisbasbelopp (approximately SEK 5,000 in 2025) and the asset has a useful life over 3 years. Must enter the inventarier pool as a capital asset. Not directly expensed. Depreciation year 1 = 30% of SEK 22,990 = SEK 6,897 (räkenskapsenlig avskrivning).

Classification: Capital asset (inventarier pool). R7 depreciation = SEK 6,897. Do NOT put SEK 22,990 in R3--R6.

Example 3 -- External restaurant meal (not deductible)

Input line: 2025-09-10 ; RESTAURANG PELIKAN STOCKHOLM ; DEBIT ; Client dinner ; -2,400.00 SEK

Reasoning: External representation food costs are NOT deductible for income tax in Sweden. Only simpler refreshments (enklare förtäring) at internal events are deductible up to SEK 300/person. This is a client dinner -- zero deduction regardless of business purpose.

Classification: NOT deductible. Exclude from R3--R6 expenses entirely.

Example 4 -- Home office standard deduction

Input line: (No single bank line -- client claims home office)

Reasoning: The client can choose either the standard deduction of SEK 2,000/year or actual costs proportional to floor area. Cannot combine both. If actual costs exceed SEK 2,000 and the client has a dedicated room, actual method may be better but requires documentation.

Classification: R3--R6 expense, SEK 2,000 (standard deduction). Flag for reviewer if actual costs are claimed instead.

Section 5 -- Tier 1 rules (deterministic)

5.1 Kommunalskatt computation

• Kommunalskatt computation — Applied to taxable earned income (beskattningsbar förvärvsinkomst) at the municipality rate. If municipality unknown, use 32.41%. Range: 28.98% (Österåker) to 35.30% (Degerfors). (IL kap. 65)

5.2 Egenavgifter and schablonavdrag

• Egenavgifter and schablonavdrag — Egenavgifter = 28.97% of net business profit (10.21% for age 66+). Since egenavgifter are calculated on the profit they reduce, apply schablonavdrag of 25% as preliminary deduction from net business profit. Actual egenavgifter reconciled on the return. (SAL)
• Schablonavdrag computation — (1) Net profit before egenavgifter = X. (2) Schablonavdrag = X x 25% = Y. (3) Taxable business income = X - Y. (4) Actual egenavgifter computed on final adjusted base. (SAL)

5.3 Statlig inkomstskatt

• Statlig inkomstskatt — 20% on taxable earned income above SEK 625,800 (under 66) or SEK 733,200 (66+). Below the brytpunkt: 0% state tax. (IL kap. 65)

5.4 Grundavdrag

• Grundavdrag — Income-dependent basic deduction. Minimum SEK 17,300, maximum SEK 45,300 (under 66); up to SEK 86,500 (66+). Computed automatically by Skatteverket. Reduces taxable earned income before both kommunalskatt and statlig skatt. (IL kap. 63)

5.5 Capital expenditure threshold

• Capital expenditure threshold — Assets above half prisbasbelopp (approximately SEK 5,000) with useful life over 3 years: must enter inventarier pool and depreciate. Assets below or with life under 3 years: expense immediately (direktavdrag). (IL kap. 18)

5.6 Depreciation rates

• Depreciation rates — Inventarier (machinery, equipment): 30% declining balance (räkenskapsenlig avskrivning) or 20% straight-line (supplementary rule). Buildings: 2--5% straight-line. Goodwill: pooled with inventarier at 30%. (IL kap. 18, 19, 20)

5.7 Motor vehicle standard rate

• Motor vehicle standard rate (2025) — SEK 25.00/mil SEK per mil (business travel using a private car; alternative: actual costs with logbook apportionment) (IL kap. 16)

5.8 Home office deduction

• Home office deduction — Standard deduction: SEK 2,000/year (no documentation required). Alternative: actual proportional costs (requires floor area calculation and dedicated room). Cannot combine both methods. (IL kap. 16)

5.9 Representation

• Representation — Internal: up to SEK 300/person/event for enklare förtäring. External: food costs NOT deductible for income tax (even if limited moms deduction applies). (IL kap. 16)

5.10 Moms interaction

• Moms interaction — Moms collected on sales: NOT income (exclude from R1). Input moms recovered: NOT an expense (exclude from costs). Non-deductible moms (e.g., representation): IS an expense. Non-momsregistrerad (under SEK 80,000 turnover): no moms separation needed, gross = net. (ML)

5.11 F-skatt

• F-skatt — All self-employed must register for F-skatt. Monthly instalments due 12th of each month. Without F-skatt, clients paying the individual must pay arbetsgivaravgifter. (SFL kap. 55)

5.12 Loss carry-forward

• Loss carry-forward — Business losses (underskudd) carry forward to future years within the same income category (näringsverksamhet). No time limit on carry-forward. (IL kap. 40)

5.13 Record keeping

• Record keeping — Minimum retention: 7 years from end of calendar year. Must follow god redovisningssed. Digital or paper permitted. (BFL)

Section 6 -- Tier 2 catalogue (reviewer judgement required)

6.1 Jobbskatteavdrag computation

• Jobbskatteavdrag computation — Why ambiguous: Complex formula based on earned income, kommunalskatt rate, and age. Default: Do not compute manually -- flag for reviewer or use Skatteverket's calculator. Question: "What is your municipality of residence? (Required for precise jobbskatteavdrag.)"

6.2 Expansionsfond allocation

• Expansionsfond allocation — Why ambiguous: Requires accurate kapitalunderlag using SKV 2196. 20.6% tax on allocation, deferred until reversal. Maximum limited by net business assets. Default: Do not allocate without reviewer confirmation. Question: "Do you want to allocate profit to expansionsfond? If so, provide your net business assets (kapitalunderlag) calculation."

6.3 Räntefördelning

• Räntefördelning — Why ambiguous: Positive räntefördelning reclassifies business income as capital income (30% tax). Requires net business assets > SEK 50,000. Rate: 2.96% (statslåneräntan + 6pp). Default: Do not apply without reviewer confirmation. Question: "What were your net business assets at the start of the income year?"

6.4 Mixed-use phone/internet

• Mixed-use phone/internet — Why insufficient: Business proportion unknown from bank statement alone. Default: 0% business use. Question: "Is this a dedicated business line or mixed-use? What percentage is business?"

6.5 Motor vehicle documentation

• Motor vehicle documentation — Why insufficient: Business km unknown. Default: Use standard rate SEK 25.00/mil only with documented business km. Question: "Do you have a logbook showing business vs private km?"

6.6 Home office -- actual vs standard

• Home office -- actual vs standard — Why ambiguous: Choice of method affects deduction amount. Default: SEK 2,000 standard deduction. Question: "Do you have a dedicated room exclusively for business? What is its proportion of total floor area?"

6.7 Negative räntefördelning

• Negative räntefördelning — Why ambiguous: Mandatory if business capital deficit exceeds SEK 500,000 change during year. Reclassifies capital income as business income. Default: Flag for reviewer. Question: "Has your business capital changed by more than SEK 500,000 during the year?"

Section 8 -- Bank statement reading guide

CSV format conventions. Handelsbanken exports use semicolon delimiters with YYYY-MM-DD dates. SEB exports use comma or tab delimiters. Swedbank exports typically use semicolons with DD/MM/YYYY dates -- confirm format. Common columns: Datum (Date), Text (Description), Belopp (Amount), Saldo (Balance).

Swedish language variants. Common descriptions: lön (salary), hyra (rent), ränta (interest), avgift (fee), köp (purchase), insättning (deposit), uttag (withdrawal), överföring (transfer), faktura (invoice), betalning (payment).

Internal transfers and exclusions. Own-account transfers between the client's Handelsbanken, SEB, Swedbank accounts. Labelled "egen överföring", "överföring mellan konton", "sparande". Always exclude.

Moms interaction. If client is momsregistrerad, bank statement amounts include moms. For income tax, expenses should be recorded net of recoverable moms. If moms is not recoverable (blocked categories), include gross amount.

F-skatt payments. Monthly payments to Skatteverket labelled "F-skatt" or "skattekonto". These are tax payments, NOT business expenses. Always exclude.

Egenavgifter. Self-employment contributions are not visible as separate bank transactions -- they are computed on the return. Do not look for them in the bank statement.

Foreign currency. Convert to SEK at the transaction date rate. Use Riksbanken's daily exchange rates.

Cryptic card purchases. Swedish bank statements often show merchant category codes or abbreviated names. If the counterparty cannot be identified, ask the client.

Section 9 -- Onboarding fallback (only when inference fails)

9.1 Business form

• Business form — Inference: Account holder name matching a personal name = enskild firma. "AB" suffix = aktiebolag (refuse via R-SE-1). Fallback: "Are you an enskild firma (sole trader) or operating through a company?"

9.2 Municipality

• Municipality — Inference: Address on bank statement or prior correspondence. Fallback: "Which municipality do you live in? (Determines your kommunalskatt rate.)"

9.3 F-skatt status

• F-skatt status — Inference: Presence of F-skatt payments in bank statement. Fallback: "Are you registered for F-skatt?"

9.4 Moms registration

• Moms registration — Inference: Moms payments to Skatteverket in bank statement. Fallback: "Are you momsregistrerad (VAT registered)?"

9.5 Age

• Age — Inference: Not inferable from bank statement. Always ask if relevant to tax computation. Fallback: "What is your age at the start of the income year? (Affects grundavdrag, egenavgifter rate, and brytpunkt.)"

9.6 Industry

• Industry — Inference: Counterparty mix, invoice descriptions. Fallback: "In one sentence, what does your business do?"

9.7 Prior year losses

• Prior year losses — Inference: Not inferable from single-year statement. Fallback: "Do you have any losses carried forward from prior years (underskudd)?"

9.8 Net business assets

• Net business assets — Inference: Not inferable from bank statement alone. Fallback: "What were your net business assets at the start of the year? (Required for räntefördelning and expansionsfond.)"

9.9 Other income

• Other income — Inference: Employment income visible as salary credits. Fallback: "Do you have other income sources -- employment, rental, capital gains?"

9.10 Expansionsfond / räntefördelning elections

• Expansionsfond / räntefördelning elections — Inference: Not inferable. Fallback: "Do you want to allocate to expansionsfond or apply räntefördelning? (Requires separate computation.)"
