Most retirees will receive between Skr500 and Skr700 in the lower taxes per year, the Alliance governing party leaders writes in the Swedish daily, Dagens Nyheter on Monday.
The reduction means that about half of the tax cut for the seniors, which the Alliance parties promised in during the election campaign as a "reform ambition" by 2014, would be met in the autumn budget.

The party leaders write that it is thanks to the relative impressive performance of the Swedish economy that makes the Alliance to be able to reduce the tax on pensions.
