Center-right parties, the unhealthy obsession of lowering taxes

the Negotiations in the autumn that the budget is in full swing. Maybe it's a sign of the deterioration in sentiment between the Januaripartierna to Life, has already gone public with its main demand: "a new tax cut.

the Party was pinched on his tax cut – the so-called " ingångsavdraget – as an unholy alliance between the (M, KD, SD, and V is the joining together of the parliament, and stopped the motion. It was a very costly reform of questionable value, as is so often the case where C find new ways to reduce the employers ' social security contributions.

the Proposal, by the way, is not a particularly new one either. Annie Lööf presented for the first time in the fall of 2017 at the latest.

This confirms a fundamental characteristic of the right wing of the parties: It is always a good time to lower the tax rate, only the arguments are shifting. We sell Life, mainly in the tax cut as a way to get the consumer spending again.

There is without a doubt damaging and growth-inhibiting taxes should be lowered or removed completely. There are värnskatten, which was finally abolished at the end of the year. The excessive marginal effects at high levels of income, and the incentive for tax evasion.

the Alliance's earned income tax credit, was also a very wise policy, which, coupled with a tight-fitting, a-cash, and a sjukförsäkringsreform was the work-first principle.

the Liberals have already thrown in the vetoes of various tax increases and centerpartisterna seem to prefer to continue to turn the tax system into swiss cheese.

Conversely, there are taxes that should be raised. Sweden is now a country with a surprisingly low capital taxes and, in particular, egendomsskatter. Our real property tax is indeed a regressive fördelningsprofil, that is to say, it will bear more heavily on single-family homes in the country than the gräddhyllorna in the big cities.

that is Why it is unfortunate that the attractiveness of such a tax reform seems to be weak in the samarbetspartierna, C, and L. the Liberals have already thrown in the vetoes of various tax increases and centerpartisterna seem to prefer to continue to turn the tax system into swiss cheese. In this way, each negotiating the budget provide the means for a new deduction, and of the specific solutions of interest.

"the centre" should be borne in mind that the needs of the future are going to be huge in the welfare system, the judicial system, the armed forces, infrastructure, etc. The reduction in tax may not be the answer to all their problems. On the contrary, we would be happy to avoid sharp increases in taxes.
