Background & Purpose

The Swedish National Audit Office examined whether the Tax Agency is effective enough at stopping undeclared work. They found that the agency needs better tools to handle complex and organized tax evasion.

The Decision

The parliament agreed with the government that the Tax Agency is already working on improvements, so no further political decisions or new laws were introduced.

Does this affect you?

  • The Swedish Tax Agency: The agency continues its ongoing work to improve internal risk analysis and control methods without new legislative changes.
  • Businesses and employers: There are no new rules or reporting requirements introduced for companies as a result of this specific parliamentary review.

In Practice

  • The Tax Agency continues its current work to prevent undeclared work.
  • No new legal tools or powers were granted to the agency through this decision.
  • The matter is now officially closed in the parliament.
