Bert Slagter wrote that he saw the 36% rate as the biggest problem of box 3. According to him, that levy was not comparable to income tax, because the return partly compensated for the loss of purchasing power due to inflation. With a return of 8% and inflation of 3%, the tax effectively resulted in 58% of the real return, which he found much too high. https://t.co/h4yfrUgWQa #belasting #inflatie #financiën (translated)

The suspension of sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more income to wage war. This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe will not do that either.

Wouter Duyck wrote that he was a civil servant and author and had a company. According to him, the net tax on income from writing or performing was until recently 7.5 percent. Although the cost allowances had since been adjusted, he stated that writers and performers still only paid about 15 percent tax on income up to 77,000 euros. Duyck argued that many people who advocated higher taxes in newspapers fell under that scheme and wrote that he had never heard the system in the media being questioned. #belasting #fiscaliteit #auteurschap (translated)

Julien De Wit wrote that a colleague had posted his testimony on LinkedIn and that he found it worth sharing. The self-employed individual mentioned that he had received chemotherapy with Taxotere and Cyclophosphamide three years earlier, followed by radiotherapy. A month after his last radiation treatment, he had returned to work, although his supervising doctor thought it was too soon according to him. He had quickly reduced his replacement income of about 40 euros per day. The colleague wrote that he worked as a self-employed individual without staff through a company and had no fixed salary, paid sick leave, or vacation pay. If he was sick or took a holiday, he earned nothing. With a full schedule ahead, he was afraid of getting sick this month, he wrote. He opposed what he considered to be negative perceptions of self-employed individuals with a management company and called for respect for the risks they themselves bore. https://t.co/JNrZ60Kq3n #zelfstandigen #ondernemen #respect (translated)

Maurits Vande Reyde wrote that the public broadcaster had mostly given a voice to people in recent weeks who were in favor of a larger government and against cuts. A cut of 1 percent in subsidies was proposed as a national disaster, among others in discussions with trade unions and Paul De Grauwe, whom Vande Reyde said had claimed that the government debt would vanish like snow in the sun. He also stated that the broadcaster was actively looking for protesting students to give legitimacy to the riots. Vande Reyde accused the VRT and other traditional media of ignoring issues that people were concerned about or portraying those with such concerns as foolish. According to him, subsidized activist organizations were given ample space, while guests advocating for a smaller government or who were critical of migration were invariably surrounded by additional commentary and counterarguments. Vande Reyde wondered whether this reporting explained the loss of trust in traditional media. He wrote that media subsequently labeled social media as suspicious and presented themselves as the only reliable source, while according to him they were pursuing more subsidies and advertising revenues. #MediaBias #Overheid #VRT (translated)

Flux wrote that a traveler heading to Turkey was stopped at Arlanda in April 2022 with 3,518,750 kronor in cash in a suitcase. The traveler stated, according to the post, that the money would be used for an apartment purchase and came from, among other things, the sale of watches and a property. According to Flux, the police's investigation showed that the person's expenses were significantly greater than could be explained by their legal income, and that reliable documentation regarding the money's origin was lacking. The original criminal investigation was dropped because a connection to a specific crime could not be proven, wrote Flux. Flux stated that the Stockholm District Court decided on September 29, 2026, that the entire sum would be forfeited under the regulations on independent forfeiture. The post referred to the Police as the source. #brott #kontanter #förverkande (translated)

Sergel wants Mohamed Abdukardir Ali's debt restructuring to be revoked. The collection agency Sergel Kredit demands that the Enforcement Authority strikes off Ali's debt restructuring. The company points out that the income of the V-party member has increased significantly since he was elected to the parliament, writes Expressen. Sergel also wants the Enforcement Authority to investigate whether Ali has himself reported that his finances have changed after the election. – If such a report has not been made, this is a circumstance that should be considered as part of the agency's ongoing investigation. The total debt of the V-party member is just over 160,000 kronor. #skuldsanering #Kronofogden #inkasso (translated)

A brief Swedish economic history that seems to have fallen out of the curriculum: Ruben Rausing left Sweden in 1969. Ingvar Kamprad left in 1973. Hans and Gad Rausing shipped out in 1982. H&M founder Erling Persson emigrated the same year. Reason: tax. The Left thought it was just an empty threat and implemented a series of tax increases. In the 90s, Stefan Persson also threatened to leave. Then the tax rules changed. He stayed and later paid 1.7 billion in income tax in just three years. It is totally irrelevant how high the tax rate is on paper if the wealthy flee. 100% of 0 kronor is unfortunately 0 kronor. What is relevant is, of course, how much tax actually comes in when people adjust to it. An honest question: is Sweden so incredibly wrong as it is? Thriving startup culture, very generous welfare, a good country to live and reside in. Do we have to challenge this with EVEN. MORE. TAX? #Ekonomi #Skatt #Sverige (translated)

Manchester City is schuldig bevonden aan het overtreden van de financiële regels van de Premier League door middel van 'schijncontracten' die meer dan 900 miljoen pond aan inkomsten hebben gefaciliteerd, terwijl de club de toezichthouders onvoldoende heeft geïnformeerd en zich niet heeft medegedeeld aan het onderzoek. #ManchesterCity #PremierLeague #FinanciëleRegels

Om Mohamed Abdukardir Ali (V) i Dalarna har så många komponenter och obesvarade frågor. Så här är det. • Varför kunde han resa till Somalia, det land han flytt från och som UD avråder från alla resor till sedan 2006? • Om skyddsskälen mot Somalia en gång var tillräckliga för asyl/uppehåll – hur kan han nu fritt åka dit flera gånger och träffa somaliska regeringsföreträdare? • Vem betalade flyg, uppehälle och möten? Han uppges vara arbetslös och ha skuldsanering utan betalningsplan. • Affärskompanjonen säger att resorna betalades “ur egen ficka”. Vilken egen ficka, när Kronofogden bedömt att det inte finns något betalningsutrymme? • Har resorna anmälts till Kronofogden som förändrade ekonomiska förhållanden? • Är resorna förenliga med flyktingstatus/skyddsbehov, eller är det i praktiken ett internt skyddsalternativ som borde påverkat asylprövningen? • Taxerad inkomst: 15 800 kr (2023), 32 500 kr (2024), 162 700 kr (2025). Varför utlöste inte 2025 års inkomsthopp omprövning? • Om han nu tar plats i riksdagen med grundarvode 81 400 kr/mån – ska skuldsaneringen omprövas omedelbart, förlängas eller upphävas? • Får man under skuldsanering starta/driva bolag och resa på bolagets vägnar utan att det räknas som tillgång eller inkomst? • Augusti 2024: migrationsdomstolen fastställer avslag – “hederligt levnadssätt” saknas p.g.a. skulderna. Februari 2026: medborgarskap beviljas. Vad ändrades på 18 månader? • Styrelsekollegan är tidigare M-politiker i Borlänge (nu Ny Framtid). Hur ser ägande, insats och eventuella bidrag ut? • Partiets egna företrädare i Borlänge kände knappt till honom. Var han mer känd i somaliska nätverk än i partiet? • Kan en person som 2024 inte uppfyllde kravet på hederligt levnadssätt 2026 representera Sverige i riksdagen? • Kände Vänsterpartiet till skulder, avslag och resor när han sattes på listan? Så många frågor dock ett konstaterande - Sverige är trasigt. #Migration #Asyl #Sverige
