The center wants to reduce the tax on ISK savings

Since it became clear that the Social Democrats have examined the effects of setting a ceiling on how much you can save in ISK, at a lower tax rate, the debate has been heated.

According to Minister of Finance Magdalena Andersson (S), the idea is not to give in to small savers, but those with millions in the account.

But today, the government partner Center Center presents a completely different line: the party wants, among other things, tax-exempt the first SEK 150,000 on ISK savings.

C also wants to remove the interest floor on which the tax on ISK accounts is based.

At present, the interest rate cannot go below 1.25 percent, but without the floor, the interest rate would have been 0.9 percent last year.

- It is to start a culture in people to actually save a small part of their salary to be able to save for the future, says C-leader Annie Lööf.

The Social Democrats have not made a concrete decision, but both Magdalena Andersson and Prime Minister Stefan Löfven want to see a change.

- We must ensure that we have resources for welfare.

Then I think it is reasonable that those who are better off contribute more to welfare, says Stefan Löfven.
