Evidence: 100 • authority: 72

Sweden has a highly developed social democratic economy, aided by timber, hydropower, and iron ore. These constitute the resource base of an economy oriented toward foreign trade. The main industries include motor vehicles, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, industrial machines, precision equipment, chemical goods, home goods and appliances, forestry, iron, and steel. Traditionally, Sweden relied on a modern agricultural economy that employed over half the domestic workforce. Today, industries such as engineering, mining, steel, and pulp have been further developed, and have given rise to multi-national companies such as Ericsson, ASEA/ABB, SKF, Alfa Laval, AGA, and Dyno Nobel.

A tax cut (or tax rate cut) is a reduction in taxes collected by a government. It usually refers to reductions in the percentage of tax paid on income, goods and services. Tax cuts also include reductions in tax in other ways, such as tax credits, deductions, and loopholes. The effects of a tax cut depend on the type of tax that is cut. Policies that increase disposable income for lower- and middle-income households are more likely to increase overall consumption and "hence stimulate the economy". Tax cuts in isolation may boost the economy because they increase government borrowing. However, they are often accompanied by spending cuts or changes in monetary policy that can offset their sti…

The tax burden is the level of effective taxation represented as the distribution of tax rates across people, households, sectors, or forms of income by the amount of their income. Tax burdens are commonly summarized as the tax revenue as a share of gross domestic product for different groups; usually as the effective tax rates paid by different income groups as a share of their income or consumption, or taxes on labor measured as a tax wedge. The tax burden is related to but distinct from tax incidence. Incidence analysis examines how a tax may be shifted through prices and factor returns, while tax burden typically refers to the taxes paid by different income groups. The distribution of t…

Tax revenue is the income that is collected by governments through taxation. Taxation is the primary source of government revenue. Revenue may be extracted from sources such as individuals, public enterprises, trade, royalties on natural resources and/or foreign aid. An inefficient collection of taxes is greater in countries characterized by poverty, a large agricultural sector and large amounts of foreign aid. Just as there are different types of tax, the form in which tax revenue is collected also differs; furthermore, the agency that collects the tax may not be part of central government, but may be a third party licensed to collect tax which they themselves will use. For example, in the…

A wealth tax, also called a capital tax, equity tax, or net wealth tax, is a tax on an entity's holdings of assets or an entity's net worth. This includes the total value of personal assets, including cash, bank deposits, real estate, assets in insurance and pension plans, ownership of unincorporated businesses, financial securities, and personal trusts (a one-off levy on wealth is a capital levy). Typically, wealth taxation involves excluding an individual's liabilities, such as mortgages and other debts, from their total assets. Accordingly, this type of taxation is often referred to as a net wealth tax. As of 2017, five of the 36 OECD countries had a personal wealth tax (down from 12 in…
