The pop star is one of many entrepreneurs who asked for support for the adjustment because business more or less stopped during the crown crisis.
But there was no money. The reason is that Lisa Ajax AB earlier this year decided to make a dividend for the owner.
Even if the dividend was never paid, this means that Lisa Ajax will not have any adjustment support.
“It feels boring”
“The Swedish Tax Agency assesses that the company cannot receive adjustment support because you made a decision on dividends during the period March 2020 to June 2021.”
The Swedish Tax Agency writes this in response to the artist’s appeal to the administrative court.
The court makes the same evaluation.
Lisa Ajax and her company, run by her mother, write in the appeal that “The company needs urgent financial support.”
Furthermore, it is claimed that when the decision on the dividend was made, the company had no idea that jobs would be absent for the entire year. If the company had had the opportunity to execute a decision on dividends, it would never have had to request support.
– I think it is very insensitive that in an extreme situation one blindly goes to the rule that was added after we made a decision on dividends, as I understand it, says Lisa Ajax to Expressen and adds:
– I have not received a single support and it is sad when you see other companies that have received it.
It has not yet decided whether the administrative court’s verdict should be appealed.
At the moment, the music industry is completely dead due to the pandemic and Lisa Ajax is looking for new ways to support herself, she says.
– No jobs will come in because we are not allowed to act, so I have a completely different project together with a friend. But I still can’t reveal what it is about.
Preview on “Idol”
Lisa Ajax made her way into “Idol” on TV4 2014 which she won, and has since performed at Melodifestivalen three times.
The company Lisa Ajax AB had sales of just under 1.2 million SEK in 2019, with a profit of 450,000 SEK.
In the past, there has been criticism that well-known artists with good assets in their companies have received money from the state crisis support for cultural workers.
Among others, artists like Benjamin Ingrosso, Lisa Ekdal, and Jill Johnson have received part of the crisis package. The latter despite the fact that her company has a turnover of millions of crowns.
