Photo: André Børke / André Børke The reason why Giske has now received a tax hit is that the Tax Agency has checked the use of commuter housing in the period 2017–2020. The tax authorities have previously admitted that their guide is not precise enough: Tax director Nina Schanche Funnemark has previously told news that they will review their guide after the decisions are made. – We see that we have not been precise enough on certain points. We therefore believe that it is necessary to clarify it. Safe in own conclusion In October, the Tax Agency decided that 28 politicians had to pay tax in arrears, as well as additional tax for 10 of them. – I have always owned and had expenses for my own apartment in Trondheim. The tax authorities have been informed that for some periods I have rented out one room at home in the apartment, for approx. 3,000 net per month. Like the Storting and the Prime Minister’s office, they have believed that this does not trigger tax, says the SMS from Giske. – I am confident that the conclusion will be that there is still the applicable tax rule, for all commuters, concludes the Labor Party politician.
