Use this page to prepare an invoice for work billed to a Swedish client or from a Swedish seller. The finished document should identify both parties, describe the goods or services, show SEK amounts clearly, and state whether VAT, commonly called moms in Sweden, applies. A clean invoice also gives the buyer enough information to approve, book, and pay it without sending the document back for corrections.
A full Swedish VAT invoice must include the issue date, a unique sequential invoice number, seller and buyer names and addresses, the supplier VAT number, supply details, taxable amount, VAT rate, and VAT amount due. Sweden uses the EU VAT system, with a standard VAT rate of 25% and reduced rates of 12% and 6% for specified goods and services.
A Swedish VAT registration number is normally written as `SE` followed by 10 digits and `01`, such as `SE999999999901`. Put the seller's VAT number on the invoice when VAT applies. Add the customer's VAT identification number when the customer is liable under reverse-charge rules or when an exempt intra-EU supply requires the customer's VAT number.
Group taxable amounts by VAT rate or exemption so the buyer can see the tax base and VAT amount for each category. If the supply date differs from the invoice issue date and can be determined, include the supply or completion date. A service line can read: "Consulting services, May 2026, 12 hours at SEK 950, VAT 25%." That line gives the buyer the work period, unit basis, rate, and tax treatment.
The most common Sweden-specific mistake is treating every small invoice like a full VAT invoice or every PDF like an approved e-invoice. Sweden allows simplified invoicing for lower-value transactions, generally when the invoice total does not exceed SEK 4,000 including VAT. A simplified invoice still needs enough information to identify the seller, transaction type, VAT, and amount.
Public-sector procurement has a stricter rule. Invoices issued to Swedish public-sector buyers as a result of public procurement must be electronic invoices that comply with the European e-invoicing standard from April 1, 2019. A PDF invoice is not treated as a compliant e-invoice for that mandate. Confirm the buyer's required channel before sending work to a municipality, agency, university, or other covered public buyer.
A one-off invoice is enough for a small job, a single client, or a quick correction where the time, rate, and tax treatment are already known. Keep the invoice number sequential, save the issued document with your accounting records, and use a due date that matches the contract. Swedish accounting records, including invoice records kept as accounting information, are generally allowed in Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, or English.
A managed workflow becomes better when multiple people track billable time, projects use different rates, or unpaid work needs review before invoicing. Everhour separates cost and billable rates, supports per-person defaults and per-project overrides, preserves dated rate history, and can price billable work by project, member, or task before the invoice is generated.

A Sweden invoice uses VAT under the EU value-added tax system, and Swedish businesses commonly call it moms. The standard Swedish VAT rate is 25%, with reduced rates of 12% and 6% for specified goods and services. The invoice should show the taxable amount, VAT rate, and VAT amount due where VAT applies.
A full Swedish VAT invoice must show the invoice date, a unique sequential invoice number, supplier and customer names and addresses, the supplier VAT number, the goods or services supplied, the taxable amount by rate or exemption, the VAT rate, and the VAT amount due. Add the supply date when it differs from the invoice date and can be determined.
Sweden generally allows a simplified invoice when the invoice total does not exceed SEK 4,000 including VAT. The simplified version still needs enough information to identify the seller, transaction type, VAT, and amount. Use a full invoice when the buyer needs complete VAT documentation, reverse-charge details, or intra-EU supply information.
A PDF invoice is not treated as a compliant e-invoice for Swedish public-sector procurement invoices covered by the e-invoicing mandate. Since April 1, 2019, those invoices must be electronic invoices that comply with the European e-invoicing standard. Ask the public buyer for its accepted e-invoice channel before sending the invoice.
A contract can set the payment due date. If no due date has been agreed, Swedish late-payment interest on a monetary claim generally runs only after 30 days from the creditor's invoice or payment demand. The statutory rate is the reference rate plus eight percentage points, so a clear due date prevents avoidable payment disputes.
Everhour separates internal cost rates from client-facing billable rates, with default per-person rates and per-project overrides. Rate changes can be dated, so older reports keep their original calculations while new Swedish client work uses the current project, member, or task rate.
Everhour Billing & Invoicing lets users select uninvoiced time and expenses, preview the breakdown, and generate an invoice from billable work. Invoice data can be grouped by project, task, person, date, or another available breakdown, so the client sees the structure expected for review.
Set accurate billable rates before the invoice stage. Everhour keeps project, member, and task pricing connected to tracked time, reporting, and invoicing.
