RIT deductions on everyone's lips

Yesterday, the Language Council presented its annual New Words List. The list contains words that are not always completely new, but which have increased in frequency during 2010. I am pleased to note that "RIT deduction" is included. If anything, this is proof that the idea of expanding the ROT and RUT deductions to include deductions for IT services (RIT deductions) in the home is well founded.

And if it is a word that has become so well established on everyone's lips that it has become an obvious concept like "app", "facebooka" and "wiki leak". One wonders when it will really establish itself in the Alliance's common dictionary and become a real government decision? The Center Party has taken a clear position in favor. The Christian Democrats have also come out in favor of a RIT deduction. So has the People's Party in a survey on IT policy Priorities for IT - what do the parties think? signed IT&Telekomföretagen, which was sent to all parliamentary parties before the election last fall. A number of
M MPs have also tabled motions for an extension of the tax deduction. Many have thus understood the benefits of a RIT deduction. One wonders then how long our Finance Minister can duck a market estimated at about 400,000 households, for a proposal that can create new jobs for a large group of talented and able-bodied young people who today have difficulty entering the labor market? Is it not time to move from words to action?
