10 November 2022 at 00:42 Rødt wants a climate tax for kingdoms and a ban on private planes People who earn more than NOK 1.5 million should be subject to a climate tax, Rødt believes. It will slow down luxury consumption and contribute more to investment in emissions reductions. – If we are to manage to gain support for climate cuts, the richest must contribute the most – and much more than today, the party writes in its new climate plan, which will be presented on Thursday. Rødt lists the worst consumption: Private jets, luxury yachts, huge villas and cottage palaces in the mountains and by the sea. – The very richest in Norway are responsible for many times as many emissions as most people. This is unnecessary consumption, which must be cut first, says the climate plan. In addition to a separate climate tax, Rødt proposes several measures aimed at the most affluent: Re-introduce boat engine tax on the largest and most expensive boats. Remove VAT exemption on the most expensive electric cars. In addition, the party will switch to a top-price system for electricity. Large consumption must cost, but the model also takes into account energy standards, the size of the household and geography. In addition, the party will have a ban on private flights and progressive flight tax on trips abroad, beyond one holiday trip a year. (NTB)
