Every year, the focus is the Tax agency in particular, in some of the areas in which they believe that there are a lot of errors and fraud.
this year, there are three industries that are the subject of this particular review, transport and construction, as well as the cleaning industry. The reason is that it is often the exploitation of the most vulnerable people who are foreign-born.
second, the authorities have, therefore, been given a mandate from the government, which is all about getting to the unhealthy competition in the workplace.
„It’s not a question of the type of cleaning services which are the subject of the Rut of the system,“ says Michael Smith, the national coordinator of the Swedish national Tax board.
„No, it’s all about the industrial, cleaning, or the cleaning of offices and public services,“ he adds.
more than half of which are concerned with this, the cleaning is born. And many of them are being exploited ruthlessly.
“ It has been shown that they are very often exploited by unscrupulous employers. It is common that the employers, who stand behind it, “ says Smith.
Much of the cleaning takes place at night when the buildings are empty, which makes it even harder for them to gain insight into whether they are doing the work are being exploited.
the construction industry is reviewed is actually not a new thing. It is often a long chain of sub-contractors which also included fraud and abuse of the people.
this is the particular part of the sector, which raises the Tax authority of interest.
“ It’s a little less of the transports, of which they do not need to obtaining a truck driving license. This can include, for example, if the food trucks, “ says Smith.
in Sweden there is no legislation on minimum wages, which could be used to argue that an employer’s exploitation of vulnerable people. On the other hand, it is a relatively new development in the fall, led for the first time in a criminal conviction.
“ this is a serious crime. It’s all about the people who come here and are exploited terribly, „says Svensson.
“ last week we had a report of eleven beds in the basement of a restaurant where people can live and work in appalling conditions, “ he adds.
as to the practices of companies but also undermine the basis of the serious-minded.
„They have companies that will pay their social security contributions, and taxes, and that they will find it difficult to survive when the competition looks at it this way,“ he said.
the Tax agency, part of the cooperation with the other authorities concerned will be, therefore, that the control of the employers.
“ Yes, it is the employers, we go to the primary. There are the ones that we are going to check, “ says Smith.
although the focus of the identitetsrelaterat cheats. In other words, the fact that people are taking advantage of the so-called-to-side.
It was common in addicts and for socially excluded people, which was the formal owner of, for example, for business, or vehicle.
However, although it has actually been discovered that it is becoming more common and in particular of EU citizens of all other countries.
„They come with their own passport and documents, but it will get a „fake“ labor certification, “ says Tobias Bergen, verksamhetsexpert of the Tax.
With the help of the fake certificate, they have created a new identity, that is, on paper, to receive a salary and are entitled to payments such as sickness benefits in cash, which is then used by the entrepreneur who is issuing the fake certificate.
