F-tax and business operations

The election manifesto points out wage dumping and economic crime as central threats, and the party programme counts ecological crimes at hundreds of billions per year where serious enterprises are knocked out and decent conditions made impossible. The plan also states that privatizations have opened for criminals to enrich themselves on tax money. Strengthened appropriations against tax fraud and sharper measures against labor market crime are thus what the plan's commitments demand.

• combat economic crimedecisive»Lönedumpning, ekonomisk brottslighet och utnyttjande är centrala hot idag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Wage dumping, economic crime, and exploitation are central threats today.”
• ecological crimes' extent»De samlade ekobrotten i Sverige beräknas uppgå till hundratals« (party programme ↗)“The combined ecological crimes in Sweden are estimated to amount to hundreds of”
• protect fair competition»Massor av seriösa företag« (party programme ↗)“Lots of serious enterprises”
• protect tax money»Privatiseringarna av välfärden öppnar upp för kriminella att sko sig på skattemedel.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Privatizations of welfare open up for criminals to enrich themselves on tax money.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The election manifesto explicitly establishes that tax evasion, welfare crime and money laundering must be stopped and that organized crime's financing must be attacked hard. The counter-proposal's demands for strengthened appropriations against tax evasion and economic crime and toughened measures against workplace crime are precisely that line. The plan also wants to tear down secrecy barriers between authorities, which is in line with the demand for correct information and cooperation. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

• stop tax evasion and welfare crimedecisive»Skattefusk, välfärdsbrottslighet och penningtvätt ska stoppas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tax evasion, welfare crime and money laundering must be stopped.”
• attack crime's financing»Slå hårt mot den organiserade brottslighetens finansiering och organisation.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strike hard against organized crime's financing and organization.”
• tough action against workplace crime»Krafttag mot arbetslivskriminaliteten. Arbetslivs kriminalitet ska inte finnas på svensk arbetsmarknad« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tough action against workplace crime. Workplace crime must not exist on the Swedish labour market”
• tear down secrecy barriers between authorities»Sekretesshinder mellan myndigheter ska rivas så att polisen och andra yrkesgrupper kan göra sitt jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Secrecy barriers between authorities must be torn down so that the police and other professions can do their jobs.”

The election manifesto wants to stop gang financing through strengthened inter-agency cooperation against illegal gambling establishments, tax fraud and disreputable companies — precisely the direction the counter-proposal requires with strengthened appropriations against tax evasion and workplace crime. The party programme sees serious organized crime as a threat to democracy and wants to stop corporate tax evasion. The requirement for correct population data is close to the same line.

• inter-agency cooperation against economic crimedecisive»stoppa finansieringen av de kriminella gängen genom att stärka myndighetssamverkan så att myndigheterna kan slå till mot den organiserade brottslighetens företag från flera håll: svartklubbar och gästarbetarbostäder utan bygglov, restauranger som missköter hygien, skattebrott och varenda spelautomat som saknar tillstånd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“stop gang financing through strengthened inter-agency cooperation so that the authorities can strike at organized crime's businesses from multiple angles: illegal gambling establishments and guest worker hostels without building permits, restaurants with poor hygiene, tax fraud and every slot machine without permission.”
• organized crime threatens democracy»Den grova organiserade brottsligheten utgör ett hot mot demokratin och människors frihet.« (party programme ↗)“Serious organized crime constitutes a threat to democracy and people's freedom.”
• stop tax evasion»Företags skatteflykt ska stoppas.« (party programme ↗)“Corporate tax evasion must be stopped.”
• counter corruption»Alla former av korruption måste motarbetas.« (party programme ↗)“All forms of corruption must be countered.”

The plan demands crackdown on organised crime's economy, with more resources for police, prosecutors, and courts, and an explicit investigation into how gangs' income can be cut off. It also wants to see crackdown on crimes affecting companies and tightened rules against corruption. The counter-proposal's demand for reinforced appropriations against tax evasion, economic crime, and workplace crime follows from these commitments.

• cut off gangs' incomedecisive»Samhället ska inte vika sig för gängen. För att besegra dem krävs bättre insatser som förebygger nyrekrytering, mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff. Dessutom bör en utredning om gängens inkomster och hur dessa kan strypas genomföras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society must not give way to gangs. To defeat them requires better measures that prevent recruitment, more resources for police, prosecutors, courts, and the prison service, and harsher sentences. Moreover, an investigation into gangs' income and how it can be cut off should be conducted.”
• crackdown on crime against companies»krävs en pålitlig infrastruktur i hela landet, satsningar på forskning och utveckling och krafttag mot brott emot företag« (2022 manifesto ↗)“requires reliable infrastructure throughout the country, investments in research and development, and crackdown on crime against companies”
• tightened rules against corruption»Sverige ska bli ännu mer transparent. Vi vill inrätta en antikorruptionsmyndighet, skärpa regler mot korruption och införa ett lobbyregister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden must become even more transparent. We want to establish an anti-corruption agency, tighten rules against corruption, and introduce a lobbying register.”
• be prudent with tax revenues»Politiken ska hushålla med skattebetalarnas pengar. Mer pengar ska läggas på välfärdens kärna, mindre på bidrag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Politics must be prudent with taxpayers' money. More money should be spent on the core of welfare, less on subsidies.”

The plan wants rules of the game that ensure competition on fair terms and establishes that more must be done to prevent the systems from being abused for undeclared work. Increased resources against tax fraud and labour crime follow from that, as do the plan's demands for more prosecutors and a more efficient justice system. The plan also presumes that government agencies can efficiently share information with each other.

• counter undeclared workdecisive»systemet för arbetskraftsinvandring inte ska missbrukas för till exempel svartjobb.« (party programme ↗)“the system for labour immigration shall not be abused for, for example, undeclared work.”
• competition on fair terms»Vi vill ha spelregler som gör det lätt att göra« (party programme ↗)“We want rules of the game that make it easy to do”
• strengthened justice system»Samtidigt behöver vi fler domare och fler åklagare, och fler häkten och fängelser med fler kriminalvårdare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time we need more judges and more prosecutors, and more detention facilities and prisons with more prison officers.”
• information sharing between agencies»myndigheter effektivt kan dela information med varandra.« (party programme ↗)“government agencies can efficiently share information with each other.”

The party programme requires that all crime is effectively and without exception prosecuted and that disloyal competition is counteracted, while the election manifesto wants to expand the entire justice system. Tax fraud that finances criminal networks and distorts competition is thus directly caught by the plan's commitments. The programme moreover requires that the tax system is transparent and ethically legitimate, which presupposes that the fraud is combated.

• all crime shall be prosecuteddecisive»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras, också sådana som kan avfärdas som smärre brott och förseelser.« (party programme ↗)“All crime shall be effectively and without exception prosecuted, including those that can be dismissed as minor crime and offences.”
• expanded justice system»Hela rättsväsendet behöver byggas ut. Fler poliser kräver fler åklagare, domstolar på fler platser i landet och en kraftigt utbyggd kriminalvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The entire justice system needs to be expanded. More police require more prosecutors, courts in more places in the country and significantly expanded prison services.”
• counteract disloyal competition»En effektiv konkurrenspolitik motverkar oligopol, monopol och illojal konkurrens.« (party programme ↗)“An effective competition policy counteracts oligopoly, monopoly and disloyal competition.”
• legitimate tax system»Strävan måste därför vara att skattesystemet är transparent och etiskt legitimt.« (party programme ↗)“The aim must therefore be that the tax system is transparent and ethically legitimate.”

The plan states that fraud with tax funds finances crime and that a first step is to determine who actually lives in Sweden. It commits to a national population census, control of coordination numbers, increased penalties for benefit fraud and its own benefit fraud unit. The counter-proposal's requirement for reinforced efforts against tax fraud and economic crime as well as correct information about who lives in the country is thus precisely what the plan requires.

• control of population registrationdecisive»Ett viktigt första steg är att fastställa vilka som lever i Sverige och att stoppa fusket med tillfälliga personnummer – samordningsnummer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“An important first step is to determine who lives in Sweden and to stop fraud with temporary personal numbers – coordination numbers.”
• national population census»Genomföra en nationell folkräkning för att stoppa bidragsbrotten« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conduct a national population census to stop benefit fraud”
• special unit against fraud»Inrätta en bidragsbrottsenhet på Försäkringskassan« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish a benefit fraud unit at the Social Insurance Agency”

The plan states that both cheating and systems that encourage cheating and corruption should be countered, that penalties for welfare fraud should be increased and that the shadow economy should be combated with more inspections. The counter-proposal's demand for increased appropriations against tax fraud and labor crime and correct information about who lives in the country is directly in line with this. The plan therefore supports the demand.
