– The government’s tax scheme is unlikely to have any particular impact on the differences in Norway, said SV leader Audun Lysbakken. He today presented SV’s alternative budget for 2023. It forms an important basis when the party will negotiate with the governing parties over the weekend about next year’s state budget. In the alternative budget, the party proposes to increase wealth tax by over NOK 11 billion next year. In total, therefore, SV proposes to increase the overall tax and duty burden by NOK 18 billion, compared to the government’s proposal. In the government’s budget proposal, which came out one month ago, NOK 46 billion in tax and duty increases next year is planned. When it comes to ground rent tax on hydropower, SV has included the government’s model in its budget. It will bring many billions in revenue to the treasury next year. Those who earn less than NOK 800,000 will receive lower income tax if SV gets to decide. – There are eight out of ten Norwegians, the vast majority of Norwegians, said party leader Audun Lysbakken when he presented the party’s alternative budget today. He emphasized that this shows that it is possible to create a tax system that redistributes strongly. Package against dear time SV also proposes to spend several billion kroner on a so-called dear time package, including increased social assistance, study support, housing benefit and child benefit. Including a cut in food VAT, which SV also proposes, this package will total NOK 11 billion, according to Lysbakken. SV will also scrap the controversial oil tax package, which was introduced during the corona pandemic. The party will spend a total of NOK 40 billion on green transition. SV will get some of the money for its investments by cutting billions in support for motorway projects, purchasing fewer fighter jets and increased taxes on assets and high incomes.
