Cash Register 2027 – XML Export, Supplier Certificate & Acceptance Test | Word/PDF/Excel

Is your cash register ready for the new requirements from 1 January 2027? For Swedish shops, restaurants, hairdressers and service companies, a concrete check of the system version, journal type, supplier certificate and – when electronic journal memory is used – a functioning XML export according to SKVFS 2021:16 is required. This niche template package helps you document what has actually been tested, what is missing and who is responsible for a possible upgrade or system change.

Important about the regulations: The Swedish Tax Agency states that cash registers used from 1 January 2027 must meet the requirements according to SKVFS 2021:17. The XML requirement under Chapter 4, Section 10 refers to cash registers that document ongoing transactions with electronic journal memory. If the system instead has paper audit trails, the exact same XML export requirement does not apply, although the cash register must meet other applicable regulatory requirements. A business that is exempt from the cash register obligation should not be treated as if it automatically needs the same measure.

File list: exactly what is included?

Excel: nine tabs for cash systems and XML testing

The workbook contains Read me, Overview, Cash register, Supplier response, XML tests, Change & notification, Deviations, Measures and Sources. The overview summarizes registered cash registers, journal memories that need to be tested, missing supplier responses, failed XML exports and open deviations. The customer file starts with zero cases.

759 working formulas support statuses such as “COMPLETE”, “REQUIRES XML TEST”, “OTHER REQUIREMENTS TESTED”, “MISSING CERTIFICATE”, “TEST FAILED”, “FOR MANUAL ACCEPTANCE” and “REVIEW CLOSURE”. These are internal work signals, not legal approvals, an XML validator or Swedish Tax Agency certificate. The workbook has been tested with 25 out of 25 approved scenarios including empty register, audit trail, journal memory, failure in XML sample and system change. All test tasks are only in internal QA, not in the delivery file.

Practical implementation before 2027

1. Test cash register obligation: document whether the company's business is covered, including applicable exemptions and actual payment type.
2. Inventory each recording unit: model, software, supplier, manufacturer declaration, journal type and control unit/control system.
3. Send the supplier question: ask for a version-specific certificate for the 2027 requirements and documented XML export when journal memory is used. Save the actual response.
4. Test in the installed cash register: select two different time periods and verify export from actual recording unit. Only filename or the .xml file extension is not sufficient.
5. Check the standard: The XML file must be able to be tested against the Swedish Tax Agency's prescribed schema and relevant data fields according to SKVFS 2021:16. A manual test form is not an automated schema validation.
6. Decide on deficiency: document whether software upgrade, change, new declaration, notification, continued operation or other legal measure is required.
7. Follow up: conclude only after actual retesting, check of old journals, possibly affected cash register notifications and separate competent decision.

Legal support and important differences

SKVFS 2021:17, Chapter 4, Section 10: a cash register can document the ongoing recording on audit trail or in electronic journal memory. When journal memory is used, the recordings must be able to be retrieved per recording unit for different time periods and exported in XML format according to SKVFS 2021:16. The Swedish Tax Agency's legal guidance.

SKVFS 2021:16: specifies the standardized XML export, including XML 1.0/UTF-8 and prescribed schema. The checks must be made against an actual export from the cash system – not against an example that someone has constructed in Excel. See the regulation.

The transition to 2027: The Swedish Tax Agency expressly states that cash registers must meet the new regulatory requirements from 1 January 2027, against the background of transitional provisions in SKVFS 2021:17 and SKVFS 2021:18. The Swedish Tax Agency's main information about cash registers.

Other requirements remain: manufacturer declaration, connected control unit or control system, registration with the Swedish Tax Agency, accounting and retention of journal/audit trail data must be assessed separately. The Swedish Tax Agency does not test all cash registers for the manufacturer; the supplier's certificate must be assessed together with actual function and applicable rules.

What is the difference compared to Mallbutiken's other cash templates?

Cash book & daily cash register 2026/2027 is used for daily closing, cash journal and cash differences. Cash requirements shop & pharmacy focuses on when cash payment should be accepted and what exemptions exist. This product, however, is about a cash model's technical XML export, supplier control and verified system change before 2027.

Frequently asked questions about cash registers 2027

Must all cash registers export XML from 2027?

No. The specific XML export requirement refers to cash registers with electronic journal memory. Audit trail is another form of documentation. The other applicable cash register requirements must still be followed.

Can I create the XML file that the Swedish Tax Agency requests with this Excel template?

No. The Excel register follows up tests and deviations. The actual XML file must be exported from a suitable cash register and verified against the current standard.

Is it enough if the cash register supplier emails that everything works?

No. A written supplier statement is important, but you should also check the exact installed version and test actual XML export with relevant date ranges where journal memory is used.

Can my cash register with audit trail be allowed 2027?

Audit trail in itself does not trigger the special XML export requirement. However, check other technical requirements, manufacturer declaration and usage rules for the actual model.

Must a cash register that is replaced be reported to the Swedish Tax Agency?

A new cash register should normally be reported before use, and relevant changes need to be reported according to applicable rules. Use the official service and save evidence separately; Excel does not replace a notification.

Are the documents legally reviewed or approved by the Swedish Tax Agency?

No. They have undergone AI-assisted legal source control and technical file tests, but no independent lawyer, certification organization or authority has approved them.

Is there an English version of everything?

No. Five work templates and Excel are in Swedish, together with a Swedish guide. A separate English User Guide is included in English, but the main templates are not fully translated.

Are the PDF files digitally fillable?

No. They are searchable and printable A4 copies. Edit the DOCX versions when you want to fill in your own company details.
