Gotland air-and-sea transport aid gains an alternative verification path on 23 November 2026Svenskforfattningssamling. SFS 2026:1854, issued on 5 November and published on 10 November 2026, gives §10 of förordningen (2026:1380) om statligt stöd till luft- och sjötransporter till och från Gotland new wording
Svenskforfattningssamling. The section keeps the rule that aid linked to a passenger deduction requires a pre-deduction Gotland-registration check, and adds what happens when the register has no data on the traveller
Svenskforfattningssamling.
The check must come before the discount. Aid may only be granted if the aid recipient verified, before the deduction was made, that the deduction concerns a person who is registered on Gotland according to the register referred to in lagen (2026:129) om det statliga personadressregistret.Svenskforfattningssamling Where the person's registration details do not appear in that register, aid may still be granted if the recipient verified in some other way, before the deduction was made, that the person is registered on Gotland.
Svenskforfattningssamling The alternative route is therefore a fallback for register gaps, not a standing option alongside the register check: the register path remains the rule
Svenskforfattningssamling, and the timing condition — verification before the deduction — applies to both paths
Svenskforfattningssamling.
The check must be provable after the fact. The recipient must, on request of the granting authority, supply the data and documents needed to show that the first-paragraph check was carried out and when it took place.Svenskforfattningssamling Verification without a timestamp trail therefore fails the section: the recipient needs records showing both that the Gotland-registration check happened and that it happened before the deduction.
The dates cut both ways. The amending ordinance enters into force on 23 November 2026Svenskforfattningssamling, but aid under the ordinance is granted for deductions made for transport carried out, or planned to be carried out, from 1 October 2026
Svenskforfattningssamling. Recipients with October and early-November deductions must therefore meet the same pre-deduction verification standard for discounts already given.

Legal basis is SFS 2026:1854 amending 10 § förordningen (2026:1380) om statligt stöd till luft- och sjötransporter till och från Gotland, entering into force 23 November 2026 with aid coverage for deductions for transport carried out or planned from 1 October 2026.
Route Gotland-discount verification through the address register first, keep timestamped proof of every pre-discount check, and re-check October deductions against the amended §10.
