All growth stocks will be sold and repurchased in a regular share deposit (aktie- och fondkonto). There is simply no reason to keep paying a potentially higher yield tax on holdings that may increase in value.
The current flat-rate tax (schablonbeskattning) in ISK already corresponds to roughly 30 % capital gains tax — but the major advantage is that you don’t have to account for every single acquisition and sale. This is a clear benefit if you buy or sell more than 40 stocks per year. The whole point of ISK was to simplify things for the taxpayer.
We have already started this tax planning. Because that’s what responsible people do when politicians signal they want even more of our money.
The money we invest in the stock market has already been taxed once. We voluntarily give up consumption today to secure our future. Yet Swedish politics seems to view this as a problem that needs to be “corrected” — preferably by taking even more from those who actually take responsibility.
The Left doesn’t just want to tax the rich. They want to punish anyone who tries to become financially independent.
And that, unfortunately, no logical person can understand.
