How to use our e-service Tax deduction request

How to log in to the e-service

When you have selected the e-service you want to log in to, a login page will open. In the upper part of the view you can change the language to English by clicking the button ”English”. By choosing ”International” you get more alternatives for eIDs you can use to log in to the e-service. Select the login mode that suits you best by clicking it, and then proceed to identify yourself.

By ticking the confirmation box “Jag försäkrar att jag har rätt att efterfråga och ta del av uppgifterna” (I hereby agree that I have the right to request this information) you acknowledge and agree that you have the right to request this information.

Submitting a query file

To submit a query, first click on “Skicka in frågefil” (“Submit query file”) in the e-service navigation menu. Then select the relevant query file stored on your computer.

Before a query file is submitted, the e-service will run a format validation check ensuring the file is free of any formal errors (see “Query file check” below). If the file contains no formal errors, you will receive a receipt confirming that it has been received by the Swedish Tax Agency.

Should the query file contain formal errors it cannot be submitted to the Swedish Tax Agency, and you will receive an error message.

Retrieving responses to central tax register queries

To retrieve the response to your query, mark the response file and select “Hämta svarsfil” (“Retrieve response file”) in the e-service menu to download it to your computer.

Query file check

Please note that the Swedish Tax Agency does not provide a dedicated test program for this e-service. You therefore need to validate the query file yourself according to the XML schema.

You can also use the e-service to check your query file for errors before submitting it to the e-service. To do this, select “Kontrollera frågefil” (“Check query file”) in the menu. The e-service checks that:

• the query file is in line with XML schema
• the file size does not exceed 5 MB
• the file relates to a valid income year

If any of the above requirements are not met, you will receive an error message. Valid income year formats are:

• the current year -1 from 1st to 17th of January
• the current year from 1st of January to 31st of December
• the current year +1 from 1st of November until 31st of December
