The stealth tax, the general salary fee of approximately 3500, is paid every month on an average salary of 30000 in 2021. This stealth tax has been increased by 2500 kroner in 20 years.
This stealth tax, the general wage levy, was introduced in 1995. This levy is a hidden stealth tax in employer contributions. Employer taxes are otherwise a hidden, deferred salary that must go towards necessary expenses for the wage earner such as social security fund, retirement pension, sickness benefit and sickness benefit.
When taxes have been lowered in recent decades, these have largely been paid for by steadily increasing this stealth tax, the general wage tax, at the expense of employer contributions.
Gone with the general wage tax
If we lowered the general wage tax that steals from the workers' deferred wages, which is social security contributions, we could perhaps, without raising taxes so much for low- and middle-income earners, restore large parts of the unemployment insurance fund, the sickness benefit, the sickness allowance and also not raise the retirement age, but still raise the minimum pensions to 20000 before tax. However, those who have benefited most from the employment tax deductions in the higher income strata need higher taxes.
It is a hoax on the part of the right that happy workers never get sick, early retired or involuntarily unemployed or that manual workers and white-collar workers are able to work after the age of 65. The general wage tax is a hidden theft.
Most of us or someone we know gets into trouble at some point in our lives. The assembly line often retires people on the assembly line early due to wear and tear injuries and other bodily injuries. Care workers also have it tough. As more and more workplaces are slimmed down, white-collar workers and academics often also become ill for a long time.
We do not want any stealth tax that steals from welfare.
