13 March 2023 at 18:17 E24: Majority in the Storting to reintroduce anonymous tax list searches The Storting majority agrees to reintroduce anonymous tax list searches. In addition, there will be more transparency about foreign ownership in Norwegian companies. The majority consists of the governing parties the Labor Party and the Center Party, together with the proponent Red and Socialist Left Party, sources inform E24 and NTB. The background is a proposal from Rødt in the Storting to “limit hidden ownership and ensure increased transparency about tax and financial differences”. In addition to Rødt, SV confirms that they support the proposal. Now E24 also gets confirmation that the governing parties, the Labor Party and the Center Party, stand behind it. Thus it is a majority. In concrete terms, it is proposed to “remove access to information about searches carried out on one’s own person in the tax lists”. In this way, you can look up other people’s income, assets and taxes – without them being able to see that you have done it. This possibility was removed by the bourgeois government in 2013, which led to a sharp drop in the number of searches in the tax lists. (© NTB)
