Una proposta di legge di verdi e socialdemocratici mira a contrastare la cultura dell’usa e getta dimezzando le tasse sulla riparazione di alcuni oggetti e incrementandole per quelli non riparabili.

The proposed legislation would cut regular tax on repairs of bikes, clothes, and shoes from 25% to 12%. Swedes would also be able to claim half the labor cost of appliance repairs (refrigerators, washing machines and other white goods) from their income tax. Together, these tax cuts are expected to cost the country around $54 million per year. This will be more than paid for by the estimated $233 million brought in by a new “chemical tax,” which would tax the resources that go into making new goods and computers.
