The government wants to reduce taxes for retirees – Private Businesses

“Instead of which the bourgeois parties , see higher taxes on pensions as an important part of the tax system, see this government it as an injustice that Swedish pensioners not benefit from. It is a question of respect across the generations, “they write.

They write that in the autumn budget will initiate the suspension of” senior tax “, by reducing tax rates so that pensioners do not pay higher taxes than wage earners younger than 65 years when incomes up to about 120,000 per year. The tax is reduced even for those with retirement income up to SEK 240,000 per year.

For a pension of SEK 120,000 per year, this represents a tax cut of over 3,000 per year, or over 250 per month.

The tax reduction will cost about 2 billion.
