Meanwhile, the Liberal Party in Sweden proposed lowering the state income tax, aiming to make the country more competitive. Party leader Simona Mohamsson argued that the current tax is a penalty for educated individuals and those taking on extra responsibility. The party aims for a gradual reduction, eventually halving the tax rate, which would represent a significant fiscal cost.
