Rural residents in Boliden on the government's proposal to increase the travel deduction: "On time"

From, as today, starting from the cost of travel to a distance-based system, from tax deductions to tax reductions.

That is the meaning of the proposal that the government presents today.

In practice, according to Minister of Finance Mikael Damberg (S), there will be a tax reduction of 80 öre per kilometer, which corresponds to a travel deduction of SEK 25 per mile.

- We have not made changes in a long time so it is really time for that, he says.

Among other things, he gives the example that those who commute between Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur should be able to receive SEK 23,500 in tax deductions compared with SEK 17,600 in the current system.
