Left Party leader says billionaire tax could raise 50 billion kronor

There are studies that say it could yield 50 billion, says Dadgostar in SVT's party leadership hearing, without elaborating on how such a tax would be designed.

She also says that the party expects to raise more from increased taxes than the 65 billion stated in its budget motion for 2026. Dadgostar points out that the billionaire tax was not included then.

There will be billions more.

The Left Party leader emphasizes that, compared with the budget motion, the party no longer wants to raise taxes for everyone who earns over 50,000 kronor a month. Now higher taxes would apply to those earning 67,000 kronor. According to Dadgostar, the Left Party has adapted to other parties, such as the Social Democrats.
