Stockholm and Västerbotten will make tax shifts

The counties of Stockholm and Västerbotten will make tax shifts during 2016. In Stockholm the tax shift regards the performance of healthcare within the area covering LSS (support and service for persons with certain functional impairments). This means that the residents in some of the municipalities will get a higher primary municipal tax rate and a lower county council tax rate, and totally the local tax rate will be unaltered. The municipalities in the county of Stockholm, which despite the tax shift receive a higher local tax rate, choose to alter the tax rate for reasons that have nothing to do with the tax shift. In the county of Västerbotten, the municipalities and county councils are making a tax shift due to changed responsibility for healthcare in ordinary housing.
