New Knowledge and
Changing Circumstances
in the Law of the Sea
Mosfellsbær hefur hlotið vottun um
að hann starfræki launakerfi sem
stenst kröfur jafnlaunastaðalsins.
Haraldur Sverrisson, bæjarstjóri
Mosfellsbæjar, tók í gær við skír-
teini þessu til staðfestingar frá BSI
á Íslandi, sem er faggiltur vott-
unaraðili.
Þetta þýðir að Mosfellsbær upp-
fyllir öll viðmið lögbundins jafn-
launastaðals og telst launasetning
innan Mosfellsbæjar vera hlutlaus
gagnvart kyni og öðrum óhlut-
bundnum þáttum.
Bæjarráð Mosfellsbæjar ákvað í
apríl sl. að hefja vinnu við að afla
sveitarfélaginu jafnlaunavottunar í
kjölfar jákvæðrar niðurstöðu í
launaúttekt sem unnin var af Price-
waterhouse Coopers.
Jafnlaun Haraldur Sverrisson (t.h.) tekur
við vottuninni frá Guðjóni Kristinssyni.

Yfirskattanefnd felldi í síðasta
mánuði ákvörðun ríkisskattsjóra úr
gildi vegna verulegs annmarka á
ákvörðuninni en niðurstaðan þótti
ekki samrýmast verklags- og vinnu-
reglum embættisins.
Hinn 26. september síðastliðinn
kvað ríkisskattstjóri upp kæru-
úrskurð þar sem hann hafnaði
beiðni kæranda um lækkun tekju-
skattsstofns vegna andláts eigin-
konu. Hafði kærandi uppi beiðni
sína vegna skerts gjaldþols en sam-
kvæmt lögum um tekjuskatt skal
ríkisskattstjóri taka til afgreiðslu
umsókn um lækkun tekjuskatts ef
mannslát hefur skert gjaldþol
manns verulega.
Í málinu er uppi sá ágreiningur
hvort kærandi hafi átt rétt á skatta-
ívilnun vegna atburða sem urðu ár-
ið 2017 þar sem álagning væri
vegna tekna ársins 2016.
Sambærilegt mál átti sér stað ár-
ið 2014 þegar yfirskattanefnd felldi
úr gildi þá ákvörðun ríkisskatt-
stjóra að synja manni um lækkun
tekjuskattsstofns sökum veikinda.
Þar taldi yfirskattanefnd túlkun
ríkisskattstjóra á þessum tíma-
mörkum of fortakslausa.
Í úrskurði sínum frá síðasta mán-
uði sagði yfirskattanefnd m.a. að
niðurstaða í málinu frá 2014 þætti
frekast styðja málaleitan kæranda
og vísaði kærunni til nýrrar með-
ferðar ríkisskattstjóra.

nýja mynd og eru
nú gagnvirkar.
Skýrslurnar eru
birtar á vef

og í þeim er að
finna marg-
víslegar upplýsingar um starfsemi
bæjarins. Meðal upplýsinganna er
yfirlit yfir fjárhagsaðstoð, aðsókn í
sundlaugar, nýting á frístunda-

aðarskýrslur úr starfsemi sveitar-
félagsins frá árinu 2009 en með
breyttri framsetningu eru upplýs-
ingarnar aðgengilegri og auðveld-
ara að rýna þær, segir í tilkynningu
frá Kópavogsbæ.
