Retrieve tax information, FOS request
Retrieve tax information with a single click on the employment contract
Retrieve tax information directly through a FOS request to the Swedish Tax Agency
Simplify your hiring process with the FOS request
When you create an employment contract in Kleer, the tax table that is set in the basic settings is suggested automatically. Since this sometimes needs to be adjusted to match the employeeâs actual tax information, you can easily use the function Retrieve tax information. The function automatically retrieves the right tax table and any tax adjustment decisions directly from the Swedish Tax Agency and updates the employment contract. That way you avoid both collecting preliminary tax certificates (A-skattsedel) and making manual checks.
When should you use Retrieve tax information (FOS request)?
You can use the function Retrieve tax information in the following situations:
- When hiring someone, to get the right tax table and any adjusted tax rate from the first salary payment
- If an employee tells you about a new or changed tax adjustment decision during the year
Kleer makes an automatic update of the tax information for all active employees every year on 1 January. For the income year 2025, for example, the tax table that was registered on 1 November the year before applies. The tax information therefore usually only needs to be updated when hiring someone and when the Swedish Tax Agency changes a decision.
Where do I find the function?
On the employment contract, in the General tab, in the Tax section. If not all fields are visible, click Show more to expand the tax section.
Keep in mind
- When the retrieval is done you get a message. Do not forget to save the employment contract.
- The request only needs to be made for the employees where your company is registered as the main employer.
- The fields that are updated are the tax table and the adjusted tax rate. The table column and the one-off tax cannot be retrieved from the Swedish Tax Agency.
If something goes wrong
When a call is made to the Swedish Tax Agencyâs API, an error can sometimes occur. The errors that can occur are listed below:
- Retrieval fails. If this happens you can try again in a little while.
- Retrieval fails, tax information is missing. This can happen if the personal or organisation number is missing in the tax register.
