Only companies whose signatories must act jointly now have to appoint a cash-register ombudSkatteverket. Skatteverket has rewritten the authorization block on the page Så här anmäler du kassaregister so that the must-rule covers firmatecknare i förening alone
Skatteverket, while a person authorized to sign for the company on their own is explicitly allowed to report and change cash-register details in the e-service
Skatteverket.
The new block, headed Behörighet att använda e-tjänsten, states the two cases directly. A person behörig att teckna företaget ensam can use the e-service to report and change detailsSkatteverket. Where several persons sign for the company jointly, the company must appoint at least one registreringsombud to report or change details in the e-service
Skatteverket. The reason given is access rights: joint signatories can only read the company's details, not report or change them. A sole signatory or a sole trader may still appoint a registreringsombud voluntarily. Applications go through the e-service or on a paper form.
The previous wording was broader: any company with several firmatecknare was told it needed an ombudSkatteverket, because firmatecknare were described as having read-only access. The new text keeps the read-only point but limits it to joint signatories, and adds the explicit permission for the sole signatory. A company whose several signatories can each sign alone is no longer covered by the must-rule as now written
Skatteverket.
The rest of the reporting routine is unchanged. Only an authorized representative of the company may submit details, and the technical details for the report — control unit or control system designation, model or version, serial number and address, plus the cash register's designation, model or software, serial number and control tape or journal memory — come from the seller; Skatteverket cannot produce them. After a report of a new cash register, control unit or control system, confirmation arrives within two days, and a registration certificate follows if no change to the details arrives within 14 days. The register may be used as soon as it is reported. Changed circumstances are reported within two weeks, outages as soon as possible, and journals, control strips and disused control units are kept as before.
Legal basis is Skatteverket's guidance Så här anmäler du kassaregister and the e-service authorization rules for firmatecknare and ombud (blankett SKV 4801).
If joint signatories run your company, appoint at least one registreringsombud; a sole signatory can report directly in the e-service.
