Sweden's journal requirement, on the integration you already have

From January 2027, cash registers in Sweden must keep a complete journal and export it to Skatteverket in a defined XML format. SIGN SE Journal adds that to the fiskaly API you already connect to — you extend the integration, you don't rebuild it.

Every receipt, signed. Everything else, logged

SIGN SE already signs every sale, so each receipt is verifiable. The journal is the full history behind those receipts — every item scanned, edited or deleted, every drawer opened, every login — kept in sequence and exported on demand. The requirement takes effect in January 2027 under Chapter 39 of the Tax Procedure Act (Skatteförfarandelagen), with the export format defined in SKVFS 2021:16. Receipt content and layout rules don't change.

The road to January 2027

  1. Now

    Go live with signing

    SIGN SE transaction signing on the API, if you're not there already.

  2. Late 2026

    Enable journaling

    Switch on the journal and wire up the export on the same integration.

  3. Q4 2026

    Test the export

    Run the XML export end to end before the deadline.

  4. January 2027

    Requirement in force

    You're already compliant, with nothing to do on the day.

Made for how you integrate

Already live on SIGN SE

Same API, same credentials, same registers. You add fields and events to the integration you already run, and your live merchants keep working while you do it.

New to Sweden

Take transaction signing and the journal together rather than twice. One integration, one contract, and the same authentication pattern you'll reuse in the next market.

Why POS vendors build Sweden with us

No second integration

Journaling runs on the API you already connect to. You extend what you have instead of starting again.

Cloud, no hardware

Nothing to ship, install or maintain at the checkout — and nothing to replace when a device fails.

We compile the export

fiskaly builds the file on request, for the period and registers you choose, in the format Skatteverket expects.

Compliance that keeps up

The schema will be revised over time. Tracking Skatteverket is our job, not a permanent line on your backlog.
