Background & Purpose

During the general motion period, politicians submitted various suggestions on how to change social fees, such as lowering them or exempting specific non-profit groups.

Proposals & Debate

The proposals focused on reducing social security contributions for different sectors and removing the fee requirement entirely for outdoor organizations. The opposition argued for these changes to support non-profit work and ease financial pressure, while the parliamentary committee pointed out that ongoing government investigations are already reviewing these areas.

The Decision

After a vote in the chamber where 257 members voted yes to the committee's proposal and 19 voted no, the Swedish parliament decided to reject all nine motions.

Does this affect you?

  • Outdoor organizations: No exemptions from social fees are granted, meaning they must continue paying according to existing rules.
  • Employers and businesses: No reductions or changes are made to the current social fee system.

In Practice

  • No new rules or exemptions regarding social fees are introduced.
  • Existing laws and regulations for social fees remain completely unchanged.
  • Outdoor organizations must continue to follow current contribution rules.
