Köptid

Köptid is a Swedish noun formed from köpt ('bought') and tid ('time'). The term denotes the time at which a purchase was made. Because it is not a standard term in everyday language, its precise meaning varies with context.

In consumer law and retail, köptid is commonly tied to warranties, refunds and rights of withdrawal. The date of purchase often marks the start of a warranty period and determines eligibility for returns, exchanges or claims under consumer protections. Documentation such as receipts or order confirmations typically records the köptid.

In financial, accounting and tax contexts, köptid may refer to the purchase date of an asset or security. This date is used to establish cost basis, holding period for capital gains, and the timing of tax obligations. In investment records, köptid is often recorded alongside the sale date to calculate realized gains or losses.

Because the term is not universal, many Swedish texts prefer inköpsdatum ('date of purchase') or anskaffningsdatum/anskaffningstid depending on the domain. Köptid may appear in contracts, product documentation, or internal records where a more succinct label is useful.
