Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup: The real tax rate is 20 percent of the company's profit this year for a typical investor with a large fortune in a wholly owned, unlisted company. It is lower than under the Stoltenberg government.
Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup: NRK's tax debate is based on meaningless assumptions: All returns in the "Tangens oil fund" go to the "household budget" and must therefore be tax-free. Is the tax really the problem, not the withdrawal?
Petter Bjerksund, Guttorm Schjelderup and Floris T. Zoutman: Total tax on owners and companies in Norway is 13.5 percentage points higher than in the countries with which we should compare ourselves. Norway is on the wrong track.
Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup: It creates a dynasty effect where wealth accumulates among the few.
Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup: The high-price tax will give us less clean power in both the short and long term. It is a textbook example of how a tax should not be launched.
Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup: The fixed price scheme has now got a loophole which makes it most profitable for the power producers to offer fixed price agreements to the customers who need it the least.
Petter Bjerksund and Guttorm Schjelderup: The power producers' description of reality and arguments characterize the government's proposal for changes in power taxation. The proposal may have unintended effects that weaken competition and the power market itself.
