The counter-proposal wants to stop the bill proposal citing employers' administrative burden. The party programme instead wants to move towards greater public transparency in companies where needed to combat tax fraud and employment violations, and emphasises effective monitoring of economic crime. Reporting requirements that make fraudulent payments discoverable therefore go in the plan's direction, not the counter-proposal's.

The counter-proposal wants to stop the bill proposal citing employers' administrative burden. The election manifesto is on the contrary explicit that tax fraud, welfare crime and money laundering should be stopped and that confidentiality barriers between authorities should be removed so that information can be used in the work. Absence information in the employer declaration is exactly such a tool against incorrect payments, which is why the plan speaks against the counter-proposal.

• stop welfare crimedecisive»Skattefusk, välfärdsbrottslighet och penningtvätt ska stoppas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tax fraud, welfare crime and money laundering should be stopped.”
• removed confidentiality barriers»Sekretesshinder mellan myndigheter ska rivas så att polisen och andra yrkesgrupper kan göra sitt jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Confidentiality barriers between authorities should be removed so that police and other professions can do their job.”

The counter-proposal wants to stop the bill citing employers' administrative burden. The plan instead prioritizes that authorities get tools and cooperation to come at incorrect payments and crime against the collective, and the party explicitly wants to stop gang financing and business tax evasion. The plan's objection to unnecessary bureaucracy weighs less than this, because here it is about tasks central to control.

• strengthened inter-agency coordination against 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 financing of criminal gangs by strengthening inter-agency coordination so that authorities can strike at organized crime's enterprises from multiple angles: illegal clubs and guest-worker housing without building permits, restaurants that neglect hygiene, tax crime and every gaming machine lacking a licence.”
• stop tax evasion»Företags skatteflykt ska stoppas.« (party programme ↗)“Business tax evasion shall be stopped.”
• avoid unnecessary bureaucracy»Onödig byråkrati ska undvikas genom ett aktivt regelförenklingsarbete.« (party programme ↗)“Unnecessary bureaucracy shall be avoided through active regulatory simplification work.”
• integrity in needs assessment»Det är viktigt att behovsprövningar inte blir integritetskränkande.« (party programme ↗)“It is important that needs assessments do not become rights infringements.”

The election manifesto commits to cleaning up the regulatory red tape for businesses, large and small, and the party programme to reducing administrative burden for small and newly established businesses. The counter-proposal's demand not to implement a legislative proposal whose administrative burden is not proportionate to its benefit follows from this commitment. The plan does not support imposing new task requirements on employers.

• reduced regulatory complexity for businessdecisive»Rensa upp i regelträsket för entreprenörer, stora som små. Vi vill införa en ny och förenklad företagsform för mikroföretag, så att fler ska våga testa att driva företag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Clean up the regulatory red tape for entrepreneurs, large and small. We want to introduce a new and simplified business form for microenterprises, so that more people dare to try running a business.”
• reduced administrative burden»minska den administrativa bördan för små och nystartade företag.« (party programme ↗)“reduce the administrative burden for small and newly established businesses.”
• cheaper to hire»Det måste bli billigare och lättare att anställa, särskilt personer som står långt från arbetsmarknaden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It must become cheaper and easier to hire, especially people far from the labor market.”

The party programme commits that the regulatory burden for small businesses shall decrease and that public decisions shall be analyzed from a small-business perspective, and the election manifesto wants to make it easier and cheaper to employ. The counter-proposal's objection is precisely that the increased administrative burden on employers is not proportionate. The plan thus speaks for the counter-proposal's requirement, although it does not state its position on the value of absence reports in supervision work.

• reduced regulatory burdendecisive»Regelbördan för små företag ska minska« (party programme ↗)“The regulatory burden for small businesses shall decrease”
• small-business perspective on decisions»offentliga beslut analyseras ur småföretagarperspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“public decisions are analyzed from a small-business perspective.”
• 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 reducing employer contributions for both small business owners and for those who want to employ young people.”
• simple and easy-to-understand rules»Sveriges skattenivåer ska vara konkurrenskraftiga och lättförståeliga för att uppmuntra till företagande, utbildning och investeringar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden's tax levels shall be competitive and easy to understand to encourage business, education, and investment.”

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 demands a total review of secrecy rules so that authorities can share information to prevent and solve crime, and the party programme that all crime is effectively and without exception prosecuted. Absence information in the employer declaration is exactly such information exchange against incorrect payments. The plan's requirement that new laws are tested from a small business perspective weighs against but does not bear a rejection of the proposition.

• authorities should share informationdecisive»Total översyn av sekretessreglerna, så att myndigheter kan dela uppgifter mellan sig för att förebygga och klara upp brott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Total review of secrecy rules, so that authorities can share information to prevent and solve crime.”
• crime shall be prosecuted»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras« (party programme ↗)“All crime shall be effectively and without exception prosecuted”
• small business perspective in legislation»Tillkommande lagar bör prövas ur ett småföretagarperspektiv.« (party programme ↗)“Forthcoming laws should be tested from a small business perspective.”

The plan has an explicit and quantified commitment to halve benefit fraud and to establish a benefit fraud unit at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, since around 20 billion kronor annually disappears to fraud. Absence information in the employer declaration is a tool of exactly that kind, and the counter-proposal wants to stop the bill. The plan's goal of reduced administrative burden for companies pulls in the opposite direction but weighs lighter than the precise commitment against incorrect payments.

• halve benefit frauddecisive»I ett första steg är målet att halvera bidragsbrotten under nästa mandatperiod.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In a first step the goal is to halve benefit fraud during the next term of office.”
• detect incorrect payments»Inrätta en bidragsbrottsenhet på Försäkringskassan« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish a benefit fraud unit at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency”
• stop waste of tax money(2022 manifesto)
• reduced administrative burden»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove one third of companies' administration costs and one third of red tape”

The plan makes it its own commitment to stop welfare fraud within social insurance and to counter both fraud and systems that invite fraud. Information about absence in the employer declaration is a tool for precisely that, which is why the plan does not support stopping the bill. The plan's requirement for regulatory simplification speaks to the counter-proposal, but is conditioned on the benefit to society not justifying the cost.

• stop welfare frauddecisive»Stoppa välfärdsbrottsligheten inom socialförsäkringen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop welfare fraud within social insurance”
• close loopholes for 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 invite fraud and corruption should be countered.”
• harder to exploit welfare»Göra det svårare att exploatera den svenska välfärden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Make it harder to exploit Swedish welfare”
• rules should be cost-effective»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 companies it is important to remove unnecessary rules where the costs to companies do not justify the benefit to society.”
