– If we have a society with high demands, it is required that everyone contributes according to their ability, ” says Moderatledaren Anna Kinberg Batra and adds that those who do not, ducking and failing society.

“do you not Do it should be punished,” she says at a press briefing in connection with the party förbundsråd.

On the question of why M sharpens tone against tax evasion right now, she answers:

” It’s probably the strongest measures that the Conservatives have done so far, I’m new to the party and I think this is important.

Kinberg Batra equate tax evaders with people who receive a grant despite the fact that they would be able to support themselves. And it included, according to her, in Swedish values to pay taxes, and contribute to a strong society that holds together. It is also about protecting the public finances.

In the upcoming budgetmotionen suggest the party to skattetilläggen to be increased by 12.5 per cent and also want to give the Tax office 50 million extra to work more against that the money is hidden abroad. The government has proposed 15 million to the Tax next year and 30 million per year thereafter to 2020. The government also proposes 10 million in increased funding to the serious fraud office next year and 20 million per year thereafter to 2020, for increased efforts against tax evasion.

here are the areas to which the government are already working with and that were included in our ten-point programme against tax evasion, which we presented in the spring, says finance minister Magdalena Andersson (S).

the Government should investigate how skattetilläggen, a kind of straffbelopp that is added on top of the tax that any failure to make, should look out for to bite more.

– It can be a level increase but also the way they are designed, we look over them to increase the tilläggens deterrent effect.
