The plan points out wage dumping and economic crime as central threats and states that it is businesses, not individual employees, that commit most economic crimes. The personnel registry is a control tool against precisely such undeclared work and unfair competition, and the counter-proposal wants to simplify the system and reduce the number of people covered. This goes against the plan's line of tightening requirements on the employer side to protect decent employment conditions.

• businesses commit crimes»ekobrotten, inte enskilda som fuskar med våra trygghetssystem« (party programme ↗)“economic crimes, not individuals who commit fraud with our security systems”

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 requires action against workplace crime and that tax fraud, welfare crime and money laundering shall be stopped, and states that it must never pay to gain competitive advantages by neglecting employees' conditions. The personnel register is precisely a control tool against undeclared work. A requirement to simplify the system and reduce the number of people covered therefore pulls in the opposite direction from the plan's commitment to fair competition.

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 ↗)“Crackdown on workplace crime.

The election manifesto's binding commitment is to make it costly, troublesome and difficult to be criminal and that authorities shall be able to strike at undeclared work and tax fraud, and the party programme wants to stop corporate tax evasion. Simplifying the personnel ledger system and reducing the number of covered persons pulls in the opposite direction from that control ambition. The plan's general commitments to deregulation and privacy protection speak partly to the other side, which makes the conclusion uncertain.

• strict control against undeclared workdecisive»restauranger som missköter hygien, skattebrott och varenda spelautomat som saknar tillstånd. Det ska vara dyrt, jobbigt och svårt att vara kriminell.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“restaurants with poor hygiene, tax fraud and every slot machine without authorization.

The plan wants to clear away the regulatory jungle for entrepreneurs and reduce the administrative burden for small businesses, and requires simplification of rules especially for agriculture. Simplifying the staff register system and removing the requirement to register all who live where business is conducted follows from this. The plan also requires that legislation be tested against its impact on personal privacy.

The plan requires that regulatory burden on small businesses decreases and that public decisions are analyzed from a small business perspective, with rules that make it easy to do right. A simplified personnel register system with fewer registered persons, and in particular eliminated registration of everyone who lives where the business operates, follows from this and from the plan's requirement for strengthened privacy protection. The plan shares the goal, however, of combating undeclared work and fair competition.

The plan requires that bureaucracy and complicated regulations are countered, that new laws are tested from a small business perspective and that tax rules are designed as simply as possible. Simplifying the personnel register system and limiting how many must be registered follows from this, as does the requirement for care and respect for personal integrity. The plan at the same time wants the tax system to stimulate integrity, which argues for retaining tools against undeclared work at the core.

• regulatory burden and small business perspectivedecisive»regler ska motverkas. Direkta företagssubventioner avvisas. Tillkommande lagar bör prövas ur ett småföretagarperspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“regulations must be countered. Direct business subsidies are rejected. New laws should be tested from a small business perspective.”

The plan's core commitment to businesses is to remove a third of administrative costs and a third of red tape, with the goal that it should be easy to do the right thing. Simplifying the payroll ledger system and reducing the number of people who must be registered is precisely such a relief. The plan also wants to simplify tax rules otherwise and shorten authority processing times, which points in the same direction.

• reduced 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”
• good conditions for business»Villkoren för att starta, växa och expandera behöver vara goda för att fler ska våga lämna trygga och välbetalda jobb för att starta företag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conditions for starting, growing and expanding need to be good so that more dare to leave safe and well-paid jobs to start businesses.”

The plan's commitment is to simplify rules and reduce companies' administrative burden, and unnecessary rules where the cost to companies does not match societal benefit should be removed. Simplifying the personnel register system and reducing the number of people who must be registered falls within this. The plan simultaneously seeks to combat fraud, which limits but does not eliminate support for simplification.

• rules simplification for small businessdecisive»Verka för regelförenkling och avlasta småföretagens administrativa börda« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Work for rules simplification and reduce small businesses' administrative burden”
• cost-effective rules»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 ↗)“To get more and growing businesses, it is important to remove unnecessary rules where the costs to companies do not match the benefit to society.”
• reduced regulatory burden»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 diverting focus from core activities and dulling an entrepreneur's drive.”
• combat fraud»Både fusk och sådana system som tenderar att locka till fusk och korruption ska motverkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Both fraud and systems that tend to encourage fraud and corruption shall be combated.”
