Changing government makes a difference

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike socialism and our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party, who ruled Sweden for 8 years. At the last election, I voted for the current government. The current government has not fulfilled all its election promises, far from it, but now changes are starting to come which will hopefully protect the Swedish tax money.

Sweden has a well-developed and generous welfare system with few control points that is largely based on the honest intentions of the beneficiaries. Starting a business with the intention of defrauding tax dollars has been frighteningly easy with low penalty scales and absolutely no risk of physical harm.

This morning, a first step was taken to make it more difficult to carry out these crimes. As a beneficial owner, you can now be called to appear at the Swedish Companies Registration Office, it will be easier to revoke F-tax certificates and condominium associations and economic associations must report their figures to the Swedish Tax Agency. Hopefully, these measures will make it more difficult for criminals to commit welfare crimes through fraud.

Our politicians are bad enough at managing our tax dollars without these crooks helping out.
