Personnel records

The plan identifies economic crime and wage dumping as central threats to the labor market and establishes that it is companies, not individual employees, that account for the majority of economic crimes and profit from them. The employee register is a control tool against precisely this, and limiting who is covered weakens it. The counter-proposal's requirement for simplification and a rolled-back expansion therefore goes against the plan's commitment.

• companies account for economic crimes»ekobrotten, inte enskilda som fuskar med våra trygghetssystem.« (party programme ↗)“economic crimes, not individuals who defraud our security systems.”

The plan requires action against workplace crime and that tax cheating is stopped, and establishes that it shall never pay to gain competitive advantage at employees' expense. The personnel register is a control tool in that work, and the counter-proposal wants to limit who is covered. The plan's requirement for clear rules does not outweigh weakened control of black market work.

• against workplace crimedecisive»Krafttag mot arbetslivskriminaliteten. Arbetslivs kriminalitet ska inte finnas på svensk arbetsmarknad och offentliga arbetsgivare och upphandlare ska vara föredömen i att verka för en sund konkurrens.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Action against workplace crime. Workplace crime shall not exist on the Swedish labour market and public employers and purchasers shall be models for promoting fair competition.”

The election manifesto's commitment is that authorities shall be able to crack down on undeclared work and tax crime precisely in those sectors where employment records are used, and that it shall be expensive and difficult to be criminal. Removing the expansion of who is covered weakens that control tool. The plan certainly wants to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy for small businesses, but that trade-off weighs less than the requirement for fair market conditions.

• interagency cooperation against undeclared workdecisive»stoppa finansieringen av de kriminella gängen genom att stärka myndighetssamverkan så att myndigheterna kan slå till mot den organiserade brottslighetens företag från flera håll« (2022 manifesto ↗)“stop funding of criminal gangs by strengthening interagency cooperation so that authorities can crack down on organized crime's businesses from multiple angles”
• fair market conditions»Staten ska genom lagstiftning och övervakning se till att sunda villkor råder på marknaden.« (party programme ↗)“The state shall through legislation and monitoring ensure that fair conditions prevail on the market.”
• deregulation for businesses»Onödig byråkrati ska undvikas genom ett aktivt regelförenklingsarbete.« (party programme ↗)“Unnecessary bureaucracy shall be avoided through active deregulation work.”
• relief for small businesses»Småföretag ska ha lägre arbetsgivaravgift och mindre sjuklöneansvar än större företag.« (party programme ↗)“Small businesses shall have lower employer's contributions and less responsibility for sick pay than larger businesses.”

The election manifesto commits to clearing out the regulatory thicket for entrepreneurs and removing unnecessary rules and bureaucracy that lie like a wet blanket over the countryside. The staff register requirement is precisely such an administrative burden that falls hardest on small businesses in the hospitality and agriculture sectors. Simplifying the system and removing the latest expansion therefore follows directly from the plan.

• clear up the regulatory thicketdecisive»Rensa upp i regelträsket för entreprenörer, stora som små.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Clear up the regulatory thicket for entrepreneurs, large and small.”
• away with unnecessary bureaucracy»Dyra, krångliga och innovationshämmande regelverk ligger som en våt filt över delar av landsbygden. Vi ska rensa upp bland överflödiga regler och byråkrati.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Expensive, complicated and innovation-hampering regulations lie like a wet blanket over parts of the countryside. We should clear out unnecessary rules and bureaucracy.”
• regulatory simplification for agriculture»En långsiktigt hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning med ökad försörjningstrygghet och ökad matproduktion kräver regelförenklingar och skattesänkningar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Long-term sustainable food supply with increased supply security and increased food production requires regulatory simplifications and tax cuts”
• lighter burden for small businesses»Goda villkor för entreprenörer, egenföretagare och små företag är därför avgörande för att skapa nya jobb.« (party programme ↗)“Good conditions for entrepreneurs, self-employed and small businesses are therefore crucial for creating new jobs.”

The plan's explicit commitment is that the regulatory burden on small businesses shall decrease and that public decisions shall be analyzed from a small business perspective. A registration requirement described as particularly burdensome for smaller businesses within tourism and agriculture is precisely such a burden. The plan also wants a tax system that is as simple and transparent as possible and rules that make it easy to do right.

• reduced regulatory burden for small businessesdecisive»Regelbördan för små företag ska minska, genom ansträngningar på både kommunal, statlig och« (party programme ↗)“The regulatory burden on small businesses shall decrease, through efforts at municipal, state and”

• easier to employ»Därför vill vi att det ska bli enklare och billigare att anställa genom att arbetsgivaravgifterna sänks för både småföretagare och för dem som vill anställa unga.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Therefore we want it to become easier and cheaper to employ by lowering employer contributions for both small business owners and those who want to employ young people.”

The party platform explicitly requires that tax rules be shaped as simply as possible to facilitate small business and that upcoming laws be tested from a small business perspective. The employee invoicing rules are described as particularly burdensome for smaller businesses in hospitality and agriculture. To simplify and limit the system, with removal of the expansion as a first step, follows directly from these commitments.

• simple tax rules for small businessdecisive»Det är dessutom viktigt att skattereglerna utformas så enkelt som möjligt för att därigenom underlätta för bland annat småföretagsamhet.« (party programme ↗)“It is moreover important that tax rules be shaped as simply as possible in order to thereby facilitate small business among others.”
• small business perspective on laws»Tillkommande lagar bör prövas ur ett småföretagarperspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“Upcoming laws should be tested from a small business perspective.”
• counter regulatory complexity»Byråkrati och krångliga regler ska motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“Bureaucracy and complicated rules shall be countered.”
• regulatory relief for agriculture»Regeländringar och kostnadslättnader för svenskt lantbruk för att öka Sveriges självförsörjning och stärka lantbrukets konkurrenskraft.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Regulatory changes and cost reductions for Swedish agriculture to increase Sweden's self-sufficiency and strengthen agriculture's competitiveness.”

The plan promises to remove a third of companies' administrative costs and a third of red tape, and specifically points out that agricultural administrative costs should go down. The registry requirements for gig workers are just such an administrative burden that hits hardest on small businesses in tourism and agriculture. Simplifying and limiting the system, with the earlier expansion as a first step, therefore follows directly from the plan's simplification commitment.

• a third less red tapedecisive»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove a third of companies' administrative costs and a third of red tape”
• easy to do the right thing»Där det är lätt att göra rätt – för att en tredjedel av regelkrånglet tagits bort.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where it is easy to do the right thing – because a third of the red tape has been removed.”
• lower administration for agriculture»Moderaterna vill förbättra förutsättningarna att driva lantbruk genom att sänka skatterna, vilket vi redan börjat göra på drivmedel, och minska regelkrånglet så att kostnaderna för administration går ner.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Moderate Party wants to improve conditions for farming by lowering taxes, which we have already started doing on fuel, and reduce red tape so that administrative costs go down.”
• simpler tax system»Ska det ske måste skattesystemet bli enklare, och bolags-, kunskaps- och kapitalskatter vara konkurrenskraftiga och uppmuntra till investeringar i Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For this to happen, the tax system must become simpler, and corporate, knowledge, and capital taxes must be competitive and encourage investments in Sweden.”

The plan's defining commitment is regulatory simplification and easing small enterprises' administrative burden, and that unnecessary rules where the costs to enterprises do not match the benefit to society should be removed. The counter-proposal's demand to simplify and restrict the personnel register system, especially for smaller businesses in tourism and agriculture, is precisely such relief. The plan therefore supports the demand.

• reduced administrative burdendecisive»Verka för regelförenkling och avlasta småföretagens administrativa börda« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Work towards regulatory simplification and ease small enterprises' administrative burden”
• unnecessary rules out»För att få fler och växande företag är det viktigt att ta bort onödiga regler där kostnaderna för företagen inte motsvarar nyttan för samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In order to get more and growing enterprises, it is important to remove unnecessary rules where the costs to enterprises do not match the benefit to society.”
• regulatory burden hinders enterprise»Byråkrati, regelbörda, skatter och administrativa kostnader riskerar att ta fokus från kärnverksamheten och ta udden av en entreprenörs drivkraft.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Bureaucracy, regulatory burden, taxes, and administrative costs risk taking focus from core business and taking the edge off an entrepreneur's drive.”
• cost-effective rules»Nya regler ska vara kostnadseffektiva och befintliga regler behöver ses över.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“New rules shall be cost-effective and existing rules need to be reviewed.”
