Taxeringskalendern
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taxeringskalendern (Swedish pronunciation: [/tɑːkˈseːrɪŋsˌkalɛnːɛrn/]) (English: "the tax annual" or "the tax calendar") is the Swedish term for the directory that contains public information on taxable income and capital of all the individuals aged 18 and above in Sweden.[1] The Swedish Tax Agency maintains high levels of legal transparency regarding citizens’ financial information, comparable to Norway and Finland.
The first taxeringskalender in Sweden was published in 1905, although the term itself was established as early as 1903. However, the dictionary Svenska Akademiens ordbok attests to the word's first usage in 1923.[2][1][3] The first two publishers were AB Förenade Kalenderföretagen, which is owned by Albert Bonniers förlag, and Kalenderförlaget i Västerås AB.[4]
Until 2008, the Taxeringskalendern also contained information on individual asset data. However, this information stopped being published after the revocation of the wealth tax on January 1st, 2007.
