The national audit office: Ruth, the pay-off is not

in a Rut-deductions is not the self, “ says dr Brink, the project manager for review by the national audit office.

She was referring to the former center-right alliance government, when the rut tax deduction for household services was introduced in 2007, it was deemed to be a deduction in the slightly longer run it would pay for itself. However, it has not been made.

the national audit office does not make its own calculation of how large or small a portion of the costs to the state, and the taxpayer may, through the issue of undeclared work is decreasing, people are working more, rather than cleaning in the home, or unemployed people to find jobs, and more income pay more taxes.

We recommend that the government make a re-assessment of the självfinansieringsraden, and the employment effects of the diet.

as of approximately sek 5.7 billion in the rut-deduction. A consumer who buys the cleaning are only required to pay half of the cost of labor. For the rest, may the producer be paid by the government and the taxpayer.

„We recommend that the government make a re-assessment of the självfinansieringsraden, and the impact on employment of the Swedish parliament,“ says dr Brink.

the national audit office has studied over 25,000 people at some time in the years 2011-2017 went out and got the income from the rut of a job. A few individuals have been followed for six years.

out Of the 25,000 people, approximately 30 per cent in children born abroad who have lived in Sweden for at least a year. Compared to others of the same background of the increase in their income from work during the period, by 1300 dollars a month, and had a higher employment rate is 11 percentage points higher.

„This is a group that is often difficult to achieve with the action,“ says dr Brink, and points out that people in the group, is a mesh-work with an opportunity to gain a foothold in the labour market.

one-third of the 25,000 individuals, the people who have come to Sweden in order to take the rutjobb.

the Swedish national audit office recommends the government to consider whether a measure, which will provide more jobs, it can also mean that people immigrate here for those jobs.

The rest of the 25,000 that is to be studied, about 10,000, were the people who were born in Sweden. For them, no differences in income or position in the labour market compared to the other group.

the rut deduction was that it would allow the households to work more and more hours on the job, by cleaning, rather than doing it yourself.

According to the audit, it appears that households with two adults and a child, who buys the mesh-the posts are working more than the equivalent of the household, who did not make it. Their revenue grew in all of the cases of 27.000 euros per year.

However, the causal relationship is not clear. It is also possible, according to Anna Brink, to buy ruttjänster on the basis that their income had increased.
