23 August 2023 at 06:34 Salmon giant Mowi files a lawsuit against the state E24 reports. The salmon giant Mowi is not giving up in the salmon tax dispute. They think the tax is not fair. – We will file a case against the state via the Oslo District Court, because we believe that the fine fee related to the salmon tax is discriminatory and in violation of the EEA rules and the four freedoms, including the free movement of capital, says Mowi CEO Ivan Vindheim to the newspaper. He believes the government has been clear that it is the five big salmon companies they want to target. Vindheim believes that it is against the EEA rules that the smallest companies should avoid paying tax, and refers to the competition rules in the EEA agreement. – We already had a land rent tax model in Norway that worked excellently and was neutral when it came to the size of the company. Now the government has introduced a system that is discriminatory. We demand equality before the law, he says. In May, the Storting decided to introduce a basic rent tax on aquaculture of 25 per cent with effect from 1 January 2023. Originally, the proposal from the government was a tax of 40 per cent.
