There will be continuing legal review of the parliamentary fraction of the threshold for state income tax. Taxpayers Association has after Monday’s ruling by the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC) decided to pursue the case. But the news of more than 900,000 Swedes tax reduction will be at least 2016.
– This was an anticlimax. But as long as there is an opportunity to clarify the issue, we want to contribute to it, says Joacim Olsson, president of Taxpayers, who backed up the private individual who appealed the decision.
The Supreme Administrative Court lecturing in its ruling on Monday, the Tax Board, an agency in the Ministry of Finance, to the last summer raised the question whether it was consistent with the law to unravel a part of the budget. The center-right government wanted a year ago to give all for a monthly salary of 36,000 crowns a tax cut of up to 3,000 per year.

It was wrong to at all to take up the case, stating the lawyers in that which is highest instance of tax cases.
- This issue should not be examined at all in this order. This leaves the Riksdag’s decision last fall, says Thomas Bull, justices of the Supreme Administrative Court.
It takes does not consider the Tax Board’s decision. The Board felt that it was consistent with the law to the Parliamentary majority with the red-green and the Sweden Democrats, by the year rev up that part of the budget that was about a tax cut for salary of 36,000 crowns.
The Court’s decision means that any legal ambiguity that exists on the budget process remains.
- To some extent, it is in the Parliamentary own hands to resolve the ambiguity. If Parliament wants it can either agree on amendments to the budget law or how to look at the practice. But if you want a judicial review of it here so it will take a few years before you finally have the answer, says Thomas Bull.
The announcement was received with the disappointment of the organization Taxpayers who work for lower taxation.
- I’m surprised that the Supreme Administrative Court concludes another procedure interpretation. It’s unfortunate because it leads to the question of uncertainty is extended, says CEO Joacim Olsson.
HFD believe that a matter of a preliminary decision on someone’s tax “must refer to a relationship that is important to determine the basis for levying income tax.”
The judgment states further: “Such a question can not relate solely tax calculations since this evidence established. In this case, the ruling request the income tax to be calculated for a given year and therefore, the question is rejected. “
The question is thus back to square one. Now we need a new process initiated after the final tax determined for tax year 2014.
The decision can then be appealed to the Appeal and then to the Supreme Administrative Court in that case again shall deal with the matter. Thus, it may take until 2016 or even longer before the issue was finally settled.
