Expertskattens Tillämpning I Ishockeysverige En Studie Om Hur Expertskatten Förändrade Ishockeyn I Sverige LÄRANDE OCH SAMHÄLLE Examensarbete i Idrottsvetenskap 15 högskolepoäng, grundnivå Expertskattens tillämpning i ishockeysverige En studie om hur expertskatten förändrade ishockeyn i Sverige The application of the expert tax in Sweden Christoffer Malm Daniel Johansson Idrottsvetenskap – Sport Management 180hp Examinator: Handledare:Torbjörn Andersson Ange handledare 2018-05-22 Handledare: Lars Lagergren ABSTRACT Aim The aim with this study is to firstly describe what types of taxes and benefits there are that import players can take advantage of when coming to Sweden to play ice hockey. Furthermore, the study is also aiming to clarify the effects that the application of expert tax has on the ice hockey in Sweden. The questions that we are going to answer are: What tax benefits allows within the Inkomstskattelagen (IL) for import players and to what extension have the Swedish ice hockey clubs been able to benefit from the expert tax when it comes to contract import players to Sweden? What advantages and disadvantages has the application of tax reductions of import players in Sweden resulted in for the Swedish ice hockey organizations? Method We have used two different types of methods for this study. First of all, we used a qualitative method when it came to interviews and the empirical study of previously written studies and books that were relevant for this study. The second method is the method of law that we have used when it comes to studying and understanding the many layers of the different laws. We have also included a few legal cases that we find highly interesting for the outcome of this study. Analysis and discussion The benefits that came when the expert tax entered the Swedish market were really a game changer. From 2012 and forward an import player could come to Sweden and play ice hockey with a tax reduction that Swedish players weren’t allowed to use. The expert tax that came in 2012, was now open for more than just scientists that the law was from the beginning created for. Professional athletes were one of the groups of people that could use it, and not only did the player themselves earn money by using this reduction. The team that hired the players was also allowed to benefit from the tax reduction. The conclusion of this is that more import players now comes to Sweden for a reduced tax benefit. This leads to many more import players that are aiming to come to Sweden and that in return leads to the SHL now becoming even more powerful and attractive in the market of ice hockey. Keywords: Artist Tax, Expert Tax, Ice hockey, Import Player, Tax reduction 2 SAMMANFATTNING Syfte Syftet med studien är att beskriva vad för olika typer av skatteregleringar det finns att tillgå för utländska spelare vid spel i Sverige. Vidare kommer studien att undersöka vad effekterna har blivit av intåget av expertskatten inom ishockeyn i Sverige. Frågorna som kommer att besvaras i denna studien är följande: Vilka skatteförmåner tillåter inkomstskattelagen (IL) för utländska ishockeyspelare samt i vilken utsträckning har svenska ishockeyklubbar kunnat dra nytta utav expertskatten när det kommer till utländska spelarrekryteringar? Vilka för- respektive nackdelar har tillämpningen av skattelättnader av utländska ishockeyspelare resulterat i inom ishockeysverige? Metod I denna studien har det tillämpats två olika metoder. Den första är den kvalitativa metoden som har använts framförallt vid intervjuerna som gjordes, men också vid insamling av empiri i böcker och tidskrifter som är relevanta för ämnet. Den andra metoden, är den juridiska metoden även kallad rättsdogmatisk metod. Denna del användes när vi studerade lagar och rättsfall. Det har även använts ett antal olika domar som vi ansåg spelade stor roll för ämnet vi valt. Analys och diskussion Fördelarna som kom när expertskatten infördes i Sverige var verkligen en förändring för hela idrottsvärlden. Från 2012 och framåt kunde nu utländska spelare komma till Sverige för att spela ishockey till väldigt fördelaktiga skattereduceringar som svenska spelare inte kunde nyttja. Expertskatten som kom 2012, var nu öppen för fler personkategorier än bara forskare som den ursprungligen skapades för. Professionella idrottare var en av personkategorierna som kunde använda den, och det var inte enbart spelaren själv som tjänade på den. Laget som anställde spelaren i fråga fick också ta del av den skattereducerade anställningen. Slutsatsen har blivit att utländska spelare nu kan komma till Sverige för att spela ishockey till mer fördelaktiga skattesatser. Detta har lett till att fler har valt att komma hit för spel i Sverige vilket i sin tur har lett till att SHL blivit en både starkare och mer attraktiv marknad inom ishockeyn.

  • Downtown Hotel Is Now Umass Lowell Inn & Conference Center
    UMass FALL 2009 VOLUME 12 NUMBER 2 MAGAZINE Downtown Hotel Is Now UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center A Message from the Chancellor In recent decades, campus “dorms” have evolved from cramped, humdrum quarters with little in the way of amenities or privacy into campus “residence halls” with a greater emphasis on comfort, choice and on-site social and academic support activities. This summer, UMass Lowell took a giant leap forward in the possibilities that campus housing can offer by purchasing the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Lowell and transforming it into the UMass Lowell Inn and Conference Center, which this fall became home to 400 upper-class students. The purchase and renovation, as you will read in the cover story in this edition of the UMass Lowell Magazine, brings not only much needed housing space, but also provides the opportunity to develop exciting new programs such as living-learning communities. We have been careful to work with the community and ensure that rooms and conference space are available for the public use, which is important to the economic vitality of the City of Lowell. Bringing students downtown will not only help the local economy, it also will lead to valuable and innovative new academic and engagement partnerships with the region. Why would the campus take on such a significant project in the midst of challenging economic times? UMass Lowell continues to be a campus with enormous momentum. Our incoming class last year grew by 23 percent and overall enrollment increased 10 percent. The purchase of the 252-room downtown facility is a strategic investment that will allow us to reach our goal of having 50 percent of our students live on campus.

As the economy is challenging government revenues, this focus on people services is very welcome and gratifying to see. This view is shared by the BC Association for Community Living. Rory Summers, BCACL President, said, “This government has shown true leadership by listening to the community and responding to the needs of children and youth with special needs, adults with developmental disabilities and their families. The new funding will make a huge impact on the lives of those waiting for services.” The Province has increased Community Living BC’s 2009/10 budget by $52 million. This $52-million increase in government contributions is the largest increase since CLBC’s first full year of operations. Almost $40 million of this increase will provide new and expanded adults services for people meeting existing eligibility criteria. An additional $2.6 million will support the initiative to improve eligibility criteria for CLBC services.
