In the clip above, you get to go to Thomas' workshop and he tells us why he calls the support black money.
The Swedish Social Insurance Agency has paid out electricity subsidies to private individuals, but the money has also gone to entrepreneurs with sole proprietorships. One of them is Thomas Börjesson, who runs a motorcycle company. He has received 7000 in electrical support.
- It's not legal. After all, the Social Insurance Agency must not provide people with black money. Some lawyer should look at whether our constitution allows for the distribution of the tax base's money anyway, says Thomas Börjesson.
Since Thomas can deduct electricity consumption from the company's income before tax, he goes plus when he then receives a refund on the entire sum from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency.
Unclear about accounting
At the same time, authorities give completely different information about electricity support. The Swedish Social Insurance Agency states that entrepreneurs can keep the support without reporting it, while the Swedish Tax Agency, on the contrary, states that individual companies should report the electricity subsidy as an income.
"The Swedish Social Insurance Agency has made a mistake, you have to forgive that. But then they have to go out and correct it. Now it becomes a soup of all the, says Thomas Börjesson.
"Absurd"
He finds it absurd that the support is also secret, that it is not possible to see which private individuals have received the support.
"That you can get secret stuff from SAPO, you've heard of that. But secret money from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency – put it off!
