The Swedish Taxpayers' Association (Swedish: Skattebetalarnas förening) is an association and taxpayers union in Sweden which advocates low taxes and efficiency in the public sector. The association was first founded in 1921 and since then has grown very fast. It issues its own magazine the Common Sense (Sunt Förnuft) four times a year. The current chairman of the board is Pia Kinhult and the CEO (since October 2016) is Christian Ekström. The association was first founded in spring 1921 under the initiative of Marcus Wallenberg Sr., former CEO of the Stockholms Enskilda Bank, to promote better management of tax revenue. The founders were mainly business leaders who concerned the political leaders and “the ignorant mass” would undermine the entrepreneurship and economic progress without an independent organization offering supervision. Their using methods were simple and direct: reveal the waste and misuse of tax revenue in the public sector; convince the public that the heavy taxation will bring threat to work, saving and entrepreneurship. At the end of 1925, the association has grown into an influential organization with over 40,000 members. And later, it also became the model for similar organizations in Denmark, Finland, and Norway.
