Deregistration when selling a sole proprietorship

Deregister F-tax, as an employer and from VAT

When you sell your company, you must revoke its F-tax and deregister it as an employer and from VAT. You must submit VAT and employer returns until the date the Swedish Tax Agency deregisters you. If you have nothing to declare, enter zero (0) in the service. You do that in our service.

Deregister via form

If you are unable to use the e-services, you can use paper forms to deregister yoursole trader from F-tax, VAT, or as an employer, and change information.

Pay correct preliminary tax

The preliminary tax you pay today will probably no longer be correct when you sell your company. This is because your business bottom line is affected by sales as well as funds to be repatriated for taxation. In order to pay the correct provisional tax, you should therefore submit a new provisional income tax return.

If you do not submit a new provisional income tax return, you must continue to pay the same provisional tax as before. Otherwise, you run the risk of a tax liability that is handed over to The Enforcement Authority for collection.

Deactivate cash registers at the Swedish Tax Agency

When you deregister your business, you must also deregister your cash register. You can do this in the e-service Cash Register on the Swedish Tax Agency's website.

Deregister representatives

Have you notified someone who is authorised to look at or provide information on your behalf via the Tax Agency's e-services? If you no longer not want the authorisation to apply, you should notify the Tax Agency that the person is to be deregistered.
