On July 1, 2024, a total of nine new laws entered into force. News24 has previously written about the mentioned law which means that entrepreneurs no longer need to save physical receipts for possible bookkeeping.
The new law that will make it easier for entrepreneurs
From July 1, it is permitted to take pictures of receipts and save them digitally instead of physically. This method is hoped to be more time-efficient and simplify the administrative work.
“This means a considerable simplification for many companies that will avoid unnecessary administration and unjustified costs. This is high time to adapt these rules to digital developments,” writes the Minister of Justice Gunnar Strommer (M) in a press release.

Another law that was introduced on July 1 is that from then on it will be forbidden to deny, excuse or belittle the Holocaust.
People who, despite the new law, choose to deny the holocaust can be sentenced for incitement against a ethnic group.
– Denying or excusing the Holocaust breeds anti-Semitism. It is rarely about ignorance, but about deliberate actions to offend or incite and to reinforce ideas that are against our basic democratic values, said Gunnar Strömmer when the proposal was presented in February this year.
