Heikki Savonen is afraid of the government’s decision to kill the business travel cycling: « Absurd »
Rug|Readers who responded to the HS survey are concerned about the government’s planned decision to abolish the tax advantage of the employment bikes.
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
The government is planning to abolish the tax benefit of the employment bikes, which has aroused opposition among those who responded to the HS survey.
Heikki Savonen, an entrepreneur from Helsinki, considers the decision to be very bad and short -sighted, as cycling is an effective form of movement in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
Birgitta Brusila from Kittilä points out that the decision would contradict other government goals.
« There is Absurd that electric -assisted wheels will soon stay in stores and people return to motoring. ”
Helsinki -based entrepreneur Heikki Savonen In the opinion of the government’s planned decision abolish The tax benefit of the employment wheels is « very poor ». The government announced this on Wednesday.
Savonen has been about to get an employment bike, but now the plan is on ice.
According to him, cycling is an excellent means of transport, especially in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, which is constantly aiming to reduce internal combustion engine driving. Therefore, people should rather be encouraged to cycle.
« On weekdays, you can get the best way to throw almost anywhere in the Helsinki metropolitan area. For a few kilometers, it’s by far the fastest way to move. »
Buzz Responded to the HS survey, which explored readers’ thoughts on the possible depreciation of the tax advantage of employment bikes. Most of the 200 respondents in the survey are opposed to removal.
Many respondents accuse the government’s decision -making. This is also what Savonen thinks, who thinks that removing a tax advantage would be « short -sighted tempo. »
« After all, such big changes will not occur in an instant.
« It provokes uncertainty about all other decisions. Do you dare to trust any decision if the next government immediately overturn it? »
He questions whether the planned decision repeats significant savings for the state. From the point of view of business, there has been good development that people are enthusiastic about cycling, he says. In addition to the bike, a cyclist buys equipment, clothing and after -sales services.
To the questionnaire Many who have already acquired an employment bike also answered, some just recently. They are worried about whether the planned decision should also affect their interests as well.
One of those who have just acquired an employment bike is Kittiläinen Birgitta Brusilawhose electric -assisted bike is coming in the next few days. The benefit offered by the employer made him excited about raising fitness.
« It was a mental incentive. I’m not a terribly eager mover, but the advantage inspired me to buy a bike. »
According to Brusila, cycling should also be encouraged because it is a more ecological option than driving a car. His family gave up another car with the purchase of an employment bike.
In addition, the planned decision would, in his view, conflict with other government goals.
« The government also wants us to be healthy and do long career.
