On Tuesday morning, the party will present its election program for 2025. SV believes that one should be able to inherit NOK 10 million tax-free. At the same time, the party is making a new move: The billions coming in from a new inheritance tax will be used to help young people enter an increasingly tight housing market. – We propose that a generation tax, an inheritance tax, be introduced, where the free amount is around 10 million per heir, says SV deputy leader Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes to news. He presents the new party programme. More for housing – The income will go towards enabling young people to enter the housing market. It is becoming a social problem, the housing market we have today, he continued. The counties are aiming for a price gallop without parallel in the big cities, especially Oslo. At the same time, around 1 million Norwegians are now renting, and rental prices have also skyrocketed. SV will therefore use the money from the new inheritance tax for more student housing, strong strengthening of the Housing Bank and more housing support. In addition, SV wants to build up a form of third housing sector based on the Danish model. Some of the tenements are managed by a general housing association. Stay away in 2013 Abolishing the inheritance tax was one of the first things Høgre’s Erna Solberg and the Progressive Party’s Siv Jensen did when they gained government power in 2013. Until 2014, the inheritance tax was imposed on all values over NOK 470,000 a person left behind, regardless of how many heirs the person had . Since then, Norway has not had enough inheritance tax or inheritance tax. SV believes that such a type of tax is necessary to bring about a greater redistribution of money and wealth. But in the Center Party and the Labor Party there is no appetite for a new inheritance tax. Tuva Moflag in Labor Party says no to inheritance tax Photo: William Jobling / news – It is out of the question for the Center Party and Labor Party to introduce inheritance tax. Inheritance tax has some unfortunate consequences, where someone could not afford to take over the values, says the leader of the finance committee Tuva Moflag from the Labor Party to news. There are other means to achieve a fair and redistributive tax system, she believes. Red-green disagreement Three years ago, after the red-green walsiger, SV brought the inheritance tax into the discussions at Hurdal. In the recent book Partiet, it emerges that SV had been consulted by Ap and Sp in order to pay out an inheritance tax. Such a tax should not be introduced during this parliamentary term. But SV withdrew and, as is well known, there was no red-green majority government. Now SV and Ap are again on a collision course in tax policy. Because after what Moflag describes as “some demanding years”, Ap will go to the polls next year on not increasing the total tax level. – We want to provide predictability to both people and businesses. The total level of tax will not increase going forward, says Moflag. But the permanent budget partner SV has no sense of locking the tax level at the current level.
