According to statistics from the Swedish Tax Agency, the amount paid to providers of household services covered by the RUT deduction increased by 9.8 percent last year.
A total of SEK 111,332,923 was paid to Värmland companies in Rut deduction 2020. Mattias Holmgren, who owns the company Buskhaga AB, which among other things offers cleaning in several places in Värmland, has noticed the increase, but this spring it all looked different.
- We have been very nervous.
Sales fell like a rock in March, April, he says.
Good customer growth
When the pandemic struck, customers canceled the cleaning they ordered.
There were smaller offices where the staff started working at home, elderly people who wanted to avoid meetings with other people and families with children who had cold children at home.
Since then, customers have flocked again and the growth of new customers is quite good, says Mattias Holmgren.
- Many feel that they are more important than ever to have it clean and fresh.
If you sit at home and work, it can feel even more important now.
