Tax-data ordering page now names only IMY-permitted credit firms

Skatteverket has narrowed the stated audience for its instructions on digitally retrieving taxation data (beskattningsuppgifter)Skatteverket. The information now says the retrieval option covers municipal and state authorities, credit-information companies with a permit from IMY and registered religious communities.Skatteverket In the previous version the same passage addressed authorities, credit-information companies and registered religious communities with legal support for receiving taxation data on media for automated handlingSkatteverket, citing 9 § of Förordning (2001:588) on the processing of data in Skatteverket's taxation operations.

The permit condition points at Kreditupplysningslagen (1973:1173)Skatteverket: the disclosure rule in 11 § of Förordning (2001:588) covers holders of a permit under 3 § first paragraph of that ActSkatteverket, but some businesses are exempt from the permit duty: credit institutions whose basic banking permit covers credit-information activity once they have notified IMY, and activity conducted by publishing credit information under the Freedom of the Press Act or the Fundamental Law on Freedom of ExpressionGOV. Sharing of credit information between companies in the same group likewise falls outside the Act unless the disclosing company holds an IMY permit.

That permit-or-exempt structure is what makes the rewording matter. Under 11 § of Förordning (2001:588), taxation-database data may be disclosed both to holders of a permit under 3 § first paragraph of Kreditupplysningslagen and to businesses exempt from the permit duty under the second or fourth paragraphs of that sectionSkatteverket, while data forming the basis for fees to a registered religious community may be disclosed to that community under 12 §. The citation the page dropped, 9 §, provides that disclosures under 10–14 §§ may be made on media for automated processing unless barred by statute.

Permit-exempt businesses that retrieve taxation data through this solutionSkatteverket no longer see themselves in the stated audienceSkatteverket and should check the updated audience line before ordering. Legal basis is Förordning (2001:588) om behandling av uppgifter i Skatteverkets beskattningsverksamhet, 9, 11 and 12 §§, with permits under 3 § Kreditupplysningslagen (1973:1173).
