the Investigation, which was appointed last spring, appreciate the advantage to slightly more than sek 19 billion in 2018.
Now proposed a financial verksamhetsskatt to reduce the tax benefit.
– We propose a tax that we call for financial verksamhetsskatt and that it should be taken out of the players in the financial industry, which is an exception from vat, it is mainly banking and insurance, said investigator Christer Sjödin the Swedish daily svenska Dagbladet.
the Unions have been highly critical of the type of tax, and argued that the cost will turn against occupational pensions.
the Tax will be, according to the proposal, charged on the payroll expenses that can be attributed to the turnover of financial services and the tax rate is proposed to remain at 15%.
the investigation the new tax could bring in about 3.7–7 billion to the treasury if it becomes a reality.
the Unions have been highly critical of the type of tax, and argued that the cost will turn against occupational pensions.
– The only comment you can have is that all of that will be imposed on the tax will pay more. We find it difficult to see how one shall be able to impose a tax in any way that does not get any consistency in any respect. This is a consequence that one can discuss if it is good or bad, ” says Christer Sjödin.
According to the investigation, employment is also affected by the proposed tax.
– It could mean that the industry can reduce with 2 500-3 000 people maybe, depending on if the tax övervältas in prices or wage costs, there do not know we. A consequence may be fewer jobs, ” says Christer Sjödin.
It is clear that the banks are not happy when they get to be with and contribute more but at the same time, it is obvious that there is a space.
finance Minister Magdalena Andersson has long argued that there is space for a bank and referred to the banks ‘ profits.
– We see that the banks are making profits on the 80 billion and it is partly that you have a tax advantage in that you do not pay vat. It is clear that the banks are not happy when they get to be with and contribute more but at the same time, it is obvious that there is a space.
Magdalena Andersson points out that all taxes affect jobs and growth and highlights the fact that not only should look at the employment effects when it comes to treasure, but also what the tax is used for.
” the Tax will be used to invest in jobs and growth but also to ensure the welfare. Generally, it is not so that the countries that have the lowest taxes have the highest tillväxen and employment.
Magdalena Andersson says that you should take a closer look at the commission’s proposals on occupational pensions. The government’s objective to introduce a bank tax, with the term still stands firm, according to her.
What is it that says that the banks do not take out cost from their customers?
– It is important that you are an active customer towards its bank. This is clearly very large margins.
Banks ‘ profits increase. How much it helps to put pressure the customer?
” My predecessor used to bark a lot at the banks. I am trying to tax them instead.
