Swedish Invoice Compliance (Fakturering)
Critical: ML chapter renumbering
Invoicing rules moved from Chapter 11 (ML 1994:200) to Chapter 17 (ML 2023:200) on 1 July 2023.
Every legacy reference to "ML 11 kap" maps to ML 17 kap in current law. Always cite ML (2023:200).

Quick decision trees
Is this invoice valid?
1. Has fakturadatum? → ML 17:24 p.1
2. Has unique löpnummer from a series? → ML 17:24 p.2
3. Seller's momsreg.nr (SE+10+01)? → ML 17:24 p.3
4. Buyer's momsreg.nr (if RC or intra-EU)? → ML 17:24 p.4
5. Full name+address, both parties? → ML 17:24 p.5
6. Description: quantity+nature of goods/svc? → ML 17:24 p.6
7. Delivery date (if ≠ invoice date)? → ML 17:24 p.7
8. Tax base per rate, unit price excl VAT? → ML 17:24 p.8
9. VAT rate stated (25/12/6%)? → ML 17:24 p.9
10. VAT amount in SEK? → ML 17:24 p.10
11. Special notations where required?
- Reverse charge → "Omvänd betalningsskyldighet"
- Self-billing → "Självfakturering"
- Exempt → ML/Directive reference
- Margin scheme → Scheme notation
Missing any of 1-10 = non-compliant. Missing 11 when applicable = non-compliant.

Peppol e-invoices in Accounted
Accounted sends Peppol BIS Billing 3 e-invoices from the invoice page in the dashboard (POST /api/invoices/{id}/peppol/send, Access Point: Qvalia). Sending is gated per company: access is requested under Inställningar > Fakturering (Settings > Invoicing) and enabled by Accounted's operators; a grant may carry a send cap, and when it is used up the dashboard says so and support raises it. Restrictions: aktiebolag senders only (enskild firma needs a GLN, not yet supported), standard invoices only (no credit notes, no self-billing), Swedish org-number buyers (scheme 0007; a buyer whose org number is a personnummer, i.e. an enskild firma customer, is refused until GLN identifiers are supported), SEK invoices with taxable Swedish VAT at 6, 12 or 25 % only (no reverse charge, no VAT-exempt sales, no ROT/RUT deductions), and Er referens (BuyerReference) set. No MCP tool or v1 API action sends via Peppol yet. Never describe Peppol sending as absent; it is gated per company. A successful dashboard Peppol send issues the invoice itself, so do not mark it as sent afterwards. If the dashboard reports that the invoice was sent via Peppol but could not be marked as sent, complete the issuance with gnubok_mark_invoice_as_sent on the still-draft invoice (if it already shows as sent, the verifikat exists and only its link to the invoice needs repair: do not mark it as sent again, leave the repair to support). Where access is not granted, or the sender is an enskild firma, use an external e-invoice provider for delivery, then record the delivery with gnubok_mark_invoice_as_sent.
Format: UBL 2.1 XML, profile Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.
TypeCodes: 380 = invoice, 381 = credit note, 389 = self-billing.
Swedish org ID scheme: 0007 + 10-digit orgnr.
SE validation rules: SE-R-001 (VAT ID 14 chars), SE-R-005 (F-skatt text), SE-R-006 (valid rates), SE-R-009 (Bankgiro 7-8 chars).
Required header: CustomizationID + ProfileID (exact URNs in reference file).
Required: either BuyerReference (BT-10) or OrderReference (BT-13).
B2G mandatory since April 2019. B2B voluntary; formal inquiry launched Feb 2026, report due Nov 2027. ViDA mandates cross-border B2B e-invoicing by July 2030.
