Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
This book describes how the Swedish tax system has evolved since World War II and how political parties, and to a greater extent how individual politicians, influential lobbyists, special interest and other groups involved in the legislative process, have acted and influenced the final result. After an introduction to the Swedish political system and the scope for external influence, the author discusses fiscal trends in Sweden from 1948 to 1990, the tax reform of the century, designing new corporate taxation, designing new individual taxation, political implications, some important battles after the tax reform, abolition of the inheritance tax and retention of the wealth tax, the issue of property taxation, taxation of close companies, fiscal policy of the moderate/liberal government between 2006 and 2010, and EU fiscal policy.
Shaping Taxpayers
Author: Lotta Björklund LarsenPublisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 1785334115
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
How do you make taxpayers comply? This ethnography offers a vivid, yet nuanced account of knowledge making at one of Sweden’s most esteemed bureaucracies – the Swedish Tax Agency. In its aim to collect taxes and minimize tax faults, the Agency mediates the application of tax law to ensure compliance and maintain legitimacy in society. This volume follows one risk assessment project’s passage through the Agency, from its inception, through the research phase, in discussions with management to its final abandonment. With its fiscal anthropological approach, Shaping Taxpayers reveals how diverse knowledge claims – legal, economic, cultural – compete to shape taxpayer behaviour.
A Fair Share of Tax
Author: Lotta Björklund LarsenPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319697722
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This book takes a taxpayer's perspective on the relations taxation creates between people and their state. Björklund Larsen proposes that in order to understand tax compliance and cheating, we have to look beyond law, psychological experiments and surveys to also include tax collectors and taxpayers' practices. The text explores the view of taxes seen as citizen’s explicit economic relation to the state and implicit economic relation to all other compatriots. Björklund Larsen directs our gaze onto the concept of reciprocity, which is often proposed as an explanation in tax compliance research, and explores its diverse meanings and implications ethnographically. The empirical cases are based on ethnography from two opposing tax practices in Sweden. Firstly, from a study of analysts, auditors, legal experts and managers at the Swedish Tax Agency and how they, quite successfully, strive for legitimacy in their tax collecting activities. Secondly, from fieldwork among a group of middle-aged Swedes and how they justify their purchasing work off the books – essentially tax-cheating practices. Sweden is a modern welfare society with citizens holding rational and secular values, yet trusting their government and fellow citizens. Sweden also has a high tax burden that is collected by one of its most revered governmental agencies – the Swedish Tax Agency - making it an interesting case studying tax compliance.
