– In September, I discovered a tax rule that was in conflict with what the Storting had informed us parliamentary representatives about. I therefore contacted the Storting and made them aware of this and sent a letter to the Tax Administration with questions about whether this rule included me, Fylkesnes writes in a statement. He explains that he has since had a dialogue with the Tax Administration to provide information and to clarify what the correct tax should be. – If the Tax Administration’s opinion is correct, the Storting has given incorrect guidance to its representatives over many years. The case has not been closed, and this is a matter between the Tax Administration, the Storting and each individual representative. I therefore do not go into details beyond this. But as I have said before, I will of course pay tax according to the rules, he writes further. news has been in contact with Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes for further comment, but he is tight-lipped. – Have said what I need to say, Knag Fylkesnes writes in a text message to news. Control case The Storting’s administration was recently notified by the Tax Administration that the Storting must pay extra employer contributions of NOK 1,351,759 for the years 2017 to 2020. 28 current and former Storting politicians are also notified of a tax slam that for some may be several hundred thousand. This happens after the Tax Administration has carried out a control case against the Storting’s administration as an employer. The Storting has until 15 August to respond to the warning. The review started after several revelations in the media about incorrect use of commuter housing for the country’s politicians. – We have received the notification from the Tax Administration and take it very seriously. I will ask for a meeting with the parliamentary leaders as soon as possible this week to talk about the content of the warning, said Storting President Masud Gharahkhani (Labor) to NTB on Monday. Rented out apartments This autumn, Fylkesnes talked about getting a free commuter home in Oslo despite the fact that he already owned an apartment in the city. Fylkesnes rented out both the apartment in Oslo and another apartment in Tromsø. – He has received a clear message that all rules have been followed, he has also acted in accordance with the intention in the commuter rule, as he has housing and expenses in Tromsø, said SV leader Audun Lysbakken during a debate in September. Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes is from Tromsø and represents Troms SV in the Storting.
