“Löfven should take hold of tax evasion at home”
“Debater: Uber creates an unhealthy culture in Sweden.”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“the DEBATE. A study of the Swedish Taxiförbundet presented earlier this year shows that tax evasion occurs on 8 of 10 trips with Uber in Stockholm. Not at any of the over 100 surveyed trips were offered to the customer with a proper receipt.”
“Uber is offering a system where customers feel they receive an accurate confirmation of your payment, but that less than a third of the run the money is reported in the cash register is not visible on the betalningsverifikation that Uber sends out to the customer. By that Uber does not offer a payment that is printed from the cash register, that is to say, the taximeter, it is almost no notice to Uber not reporting revenue in the cash register according to the requirements of the law. “
“The Swedish legislation, however, is based entirely on the customer to get their receipt printed from the cash register, so that it can be seen that it is the same as the amount on the receipt that you actually paid for the trip. As long as the routine is maintained to be paid all taxes correctly, because taxibilarnas taximeters now communicates digitally with the Tax. “
“But when this legislation is the systematic circumvention, it means a large-scale systematic tax evasion – which is aware of a huge companies that are valued at 1000 billion and soon to be the subject of one of the world’s largest ipos.”
“the Swedish Tax agency, the Swedish transport agency and the Police have had to take part of the survey, but have not yet responded. The loser on the extensive the cheating is partly the treasury who are missing out on employer’s social security contributions, vat and taxes and the whole business gets into an unhealthy culture that puts the competition out of the game. “
“If Uber want to pay Swedish social security contributions, vat and taxes when they are running around of customers so will Uber not like to do it when the company running the home the food, or do other services for them in the future.”
“It is now the government ought to clean up, before the phenomenon is growing and spreading to more players in the market.”
“But so far, the state has thus not acted on the data generated, which is a shame because the upcoming ipo should mean that the company is sensitive to signals from the government level to better respond to the regulatory requirements. The Swedish government should take advantage of the situation. The only thing that is required is that the american company is forced to adapt its system to the Swedish law’s requirements, which means that kontantbranscher as shops, restaurants and taxi shall report on all receipts in a cash register and the receipt that the customer receives is to come from there.”
“When prime minister Stefan Löfven spoke in Umeå, sweden on the first of may came on, however, a hope. Löfven said then, speaking of taxes, that he wants to avoid having to see ”how billionaires and corporations succeed doctored away his share of responsibility and pass on the entire cost of the welfare of the common people!” “
“It sounds on the prime minister, who to Uber, and Ubers shareholders should take more responsibility.”
“Löfven promised to fight tax evasion, ”to force the better the registration of companies, greater information sharing between countries – and hard law.” “
“It is precisely these measures that are needed to come to grips with the Ubers evasion. Uber know on the crown and öret what income they have. The problem is that they don’t talk about it for Tax. Instead, the money goes directly from the taxikundens debit card to Ubers company in Holland, without transparency for the Swedish authorities. Here is a need for greater information sharing between countries, but also rock hard control in Sweden so that Uber be forced to adapt to the Swedish tax legislation, instead of the other way around. “
“Löfvens speech about hunting down big skattebovar in the EUROPEAN union will not be credible if he lets börsaktuella jätteföretaget Uber to continue with its systematic cheating in Sweden. When will the measures, Stefan Löfven?”
