The income tax to be increased next year by 134 per month for anyone earning over 36,000 per month. According to the government proposal of the Social Democrats and the Green Party sent for comment Monday. But the Left Party leader Jonas Sjöstedt would love to have even larger tax increases.

In Monday’s DN raise finance minister Magdalena Andersson (S) presented two proposals on tax increases that are tailored for the Left to get through the budget in parliament. One is tax cuts for seniors, where lower pensions get tax cut of up to 120 dollars a month, while retirees who worked full time and have more than 20,000 per month in retirement receive no tax cut at all.

 There are women with very low incomes, says Jonas Sjöstedt in a web TV interview with DN after Tuesday’s meeting with the Parliamentary Journalists Association.

 
        
             
     
     
 

 Magdalena Andersson also highlights the rapid removal of salmon-rut, to be removed early next year, as an adaptation to V. But what she did not talk about is that there is a third adjustment to the Left.

  In addition to an increase in tax on monthly income of 50,000 crowns want S and Mp implement an additional tax increase on 134 dollars a month for all employees who earn more than 36,000 per month. This is done by raising the threshold for state tax not listed with price increases plus two percent, but only with price increases in 2015, it is expected to generate 1.91 billion extra to the Exchequer, according to estimates from the government.

 - It’s part of the big picture to be presented, says Jonas Sjöstedt.

 The Left did during the campaign to raise income taxes for anyone earning over 30,000 crowns. Now waiting for further negotiations on the budget that began over the weekend, while the settlement of gains in well-being was completed. The Left wants even more tax increases.

  – Our starting positions are of course known. But we are ready to negotiate and then we present the results, said Sjöstedt.

 The enumeration of the limit on state tax has been the consumer price index plus two percent since the major tax reform was implemented in 1990-91. But it has been breached on several occasions. For example, the bourgeois government raised the limit more, while the Socialist government earlier raised the less.

 - This means that raising the cut-off point in a way that the Social Democrats did not tell the voters, says Johan Fall, tax economist at the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise.

  Even from trade unions came on Tuesday reactions that the planned tax increases. The world’s highest marginal tax rates will be even higher, says academics union Saco – just under 57 percent percent to almost 60 percent.

 “It would be harmful for the economy. If the government is serious about consensus across the block boundary, they should put the tax proposal aside and appoint a new parliamentary committee to reach a broad agreement on taxes, “writes Scaos socio-political director Robert Boije in a comment.
