Proposal for increased tax surcharge
The Swedish government has recently published a white paper which proposes increased tax surcharges in order to strengthen the general preventive effect of the tax surcharge and to make the sanctions system more legitimate and fair. The proposal implies that the tax surcharge may amount to as much as 27% in case of repeated errors and for discretionary assessments. The legislative amendments are proposed to enter into force on April 1, 2019.
