Total tax on companies and owners is too high in Norway

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.

We know from the research literature on tax competition between countries that small countries benefit from having lower taxes on capital than large countries. Norway is therefore on the wrong track, Petter Bjerksund, Guttorm Schjelderup and Floris T. Zoutman write.
