It was unbelievably stupid of me, and I have realized my mistake &#8211; and take responsibility for what I did. I have already made up for myself financially and paid back the money, he writes. In June, Teigen was charged with gross fraud in connection with the commuter housing case. &#8211; This is a matter that has cost me dearly, both personally and professionally. I have learned a lot and I admit that I broke the rules. Now I am ready to take my punishment and put this behind me, he writes further. It was TV 2 that reported this first. Free commuter accommodation In the period from 1 March 2016 to 18 April 2018, he led &#8220;employees at the Prime Minister&#8217;s office to award him a free commuter accommodation&#8221; even though he was not entitled to it, the indictment states. He did not live more than 40 kilometers from his place of work, nor did he have expenses for housing elsewhere. The indictment states that he did not report the tax benefit he had from getting free commuter accommodation. &#8211; To those who follow this case, I want to say that I deeply regret what I did, and that I have learned a lot, Listhaug: &#8211; Very serious When the indictment came in June, Frp leader Sylvi Listhaug stated that the indictment was very serious. Espen Teigen was Listhaug&#8217;s adviser for several years, and among other things was responsible for Listhaug&#8217;s accounts on social media.

Fylkesnes wins On the other side of the political spectrum, SV deputy leader Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes is jubilant in another tax case. 38 current and former Storting politicians were notified of tax fraud. Several have now been upheld in the complaint, including Fylkesnes. The SV politician has said he had to take out a loan to pay the tax bill of NOK 700,000. Now he gets the money back and covered legal costs, writes VG. Upheld in eight out of ten appeals Ten of the appealed cases have now been settled. In eight of them, the complainants have won. The amounts that the politicians now get back vary from a few tens of thousands to many hundreds of thousands, as in the case of Fylkesnes. &#8211; What has the Tax Agency done wrong? &#8211; They have claimed that you had to have full costs in the original home in order to get a tax-free commuter home. It&#8217;s not right. It is necessary to have some costs in order to claim commuter accommodation, says tax lawyer Torbj\u00f8rn Stokke to news. He has five clients who have been successful today. According to Stokke, the Tax Agency can also make changes for those who have not complained about tax claims.
