About 830,000 people across the country will receive a tax reduction of at most SEK 137 per month from the turn of the year. These people live in the northern and western parts of Sweden in what is called support areas A and B.

Not Karlstad and neighboring municipalities

For Värmland, Torsby is included in Support Area A. In Support Area B there are nine of the county's municipalities with, Arvika, Eda, Filipstad, Hagfors, Munkfors, Storfors, Sunne, Säffle and Årjäng.

The Center Party is behind the proposal with the tax cut. From the beginning, the party wanted to see a reduction of SEK 310, but it was only SEK 137. At most people in the affected municipalities can receive a tax reduction of SEK 1,650 per year.
