Simona Mohamsson presented Liberalerna's demand for a reduced state income tax during her speech in Almedalen on Tuesday. The party wants to halve the tax to ten percent over time. The proposal is estimated to cost up to 30 billion kronor.
Simona Mohamsson spoke to around 2,400 people in Almedalen on Tuesday evening. She launched two main proposals. One concerned making Sweden the EU's smartest country within ten years through investments in schools and research.
The second proposal concerned taxes. Liberalerna demands that the state income tax be lowered already from January 1, 2027. The tax, which is currently 20 percent on incomes over 643,000 kronor, should eventually be halved to ten percent. The cost is said to be 30 billion kronor.
Mohamsson targeted moderate voters in particular. She said Liberalerna is the party for those who want more freedom in everyday life. The party is low in opinion polls at around 2.5 percent.
