1 min read

Swedish government has sent a proposal to the parliament for a temporarily (June, July, August 2021) lower employer /social taxes for the “young workforce”. Young workforce means persons born between 1998-2002.

This comes as an addition to already effective regulation for young employees. Now youngsters who are between 18 and not yet 23 years old have an additional lowering of employer fees:21%.

If all goes well, the new regulation will be in effect from 19th of June.
