The decision: Laholm municipality raises the tax and saves 35 million

– Inflation and interest rates drive costs. We are not alone in this. Region Halland is affected by half a billion, says Ove Bengtsson (C), chairman of the municipal administration, after the decision on the budget in the municipal council on Tuesday evening.

He also believes that a more expensive pension agreement with Kommunal is a reason for the savings.

Nattis is cancelled

The biggest savings are expected in schools and care, which cost the municipality the most. SVT Nyheter Halland has previously told about the closure of night nursery school at inconvenient working hours. Other parts are reduced school fees, streamlining of school buses and going from five to four administrations.

– This means that there will be groups in society that will feel these savings. All taxpayers will feel that they are getting higher taxes, says Ove Bengtsson. (C).

Before the savings proposals are implemented, risk and impact analyzes are carried out.

Before the tax increase of 52 öre is implemented, Laholm Halland has the second lowest municipal tax at 20 kroner and 58 öre per earned hundred.
