VAT

Prepare the momsdeklaration underlag from the ledger and reconcile it before anything is booked or filed. VAT is the highest-error area in Swedish bookkeeping: always work from loaded knowledge, never memory.

Flow

1. If not already done this session, call accounted_get_agent_briefing: it gives VAT registration status, period length (monthly, quarterly, yearly), and accounting method. If the company is not VAT registered, say so and stop.
2. Load the knowledge: accounted_load_skill("quarterly-vat-review") (the review procedure, valid for any period length) and accounted_load_skill("horizontal/swedish-vat") for ruta mapping and edge cases (reverse charge, EU trade, import VAT, representation).
3. Verify the period is fully booked first: any unbooked transactions in the period make the return wrong. Route gaps through /accounted:bookkeep before continuing.
4. Generate the VAT report with the product's tools (discover via accounted_search_tools, for example "vat report momsdeklaration") and reconcile: report rutor against the 26xx account balances, and against the previous period for anomalies.
5. Present a per-ruta summary in the user's language, flagging anything unusual with the ledger evidence behind it.
6. Booking the VAT settlement (redovisning mot 2650/1650) is a staged operation the user approves. Filing with Skatteverket is the user's action: prepare the underlag, state the deadline, and where the product's Skatteverket integration is connected, point at it.

Rules

• Never compute or assert a ruta mapping from memory; it must come from the loaded skills and the product's report.
• Every write stages a pending operation; the user approves before anything is booked.
• Never work around a locked period; a locked VAT period means the correction goes in the current one, per the loaded skill's procedure.
