Researcher: The time has come for a new taxation of housing

Sweden needs a new and neutral taxation of housing. The current taxation is unfavourable to certain groups of households, regions and forms of housing, without being the result of articulated political priorities. This is the conclusion made by economist Peter Englund in the SNS report “A New Taxation of Housing” published today.

The SNS Economic Policy Council 2016 sharply criticizes Swedish infrastructure policy

The Swedish Government decided to make investments in roads and railways for billions of Swedish kronor based on incomplete information. In many cases, projects are socially unprofitable, in that the benefits in the form of shorter travel times, better environmental impact, and reduced risk of accidents do not match investment costs. These are some of the conclusions of the SNS Economic Policy Council Report 2016: What road are we on? System failures in transport policy.
