Murhaf Hamid in Glimåkra in Scania broke the record and sold May flowers for a total of SEK 5,002,655. But when the commission has reached most of the other sellers, he is still waiting for money from the Majblomman national association, writes Dagens Nyheter.
The children who sell Mayflowers get to keep ten percent as commission, and for most it usually ends up around the hundred mark. But around 200 children have sold for over 10,000 kroner, for them the Majblomman national association needs to deduct income tax and pay employer contributions.
For the payment to twelve-year-old Murhaf Hamid, who is an asylum seeker and lacks a Swedish social security number, special handling is required, according to Majblomman.
– But it can be solved and we will solve it. All children who have sold Mayflowers will receive their commission, says the organization’s press secretary Liv Landell Major to DN.
This year, children across the country sold Mayflowers for SEK 71.6 million. That, too, is a record sum.
