Committee on Taxation

How should the Swedish tax system be organised? What taxes should we apply and how high should they be? In what way should taxes guide what, and how, we consume? These matters are dealt with by the Committee on Taxation. Tax agreements with other countries, prevention of tax fraud and matters relating to resources to the Swedish Tax Agency, the Swedish Enforcement Authority and Swedish Customs are other areas of responsibility.

Committee on Taxation (in Swedish)

The parliamentary committees prepare decisions

The hub of the work of the Riksdag is the 15 parliamentary committees. This is where the members prepare the Riksdag’s decisions. When a committee has presented its proposal for a decision, all 349 members of the Riksdag adopt a position on the proposal. Each committee is made up of 17 members of the Riksdag. The committees are like a miniature Riksdag, which means that the composition of members in each committee reflects the balance of power in the Riksdag as a whole.
