So can norwegians save 4,25 billion in interest expense
Digital goods and services represent an increasingly larger part of the economy, and the larger they become, the greater is also the sum of tax dollars that disappear out of the country. International techgiganter as Facebook and Google sucks to an ever-greater share of Norwegian ads, but taxes far less than what companies would have done, because they have headquarters in other countries. In 2018 traded Google an estimated 3.5 billion in the Uk, but paid only four million in taxes to the Norwegian state.
broad consensus that this is unsustainable, but disagreement on what should be done. Finance minister Siv Jensen (the progress party) has not ruled out that Norway can come up with unilateral measures, to prevent telecommunications companies in aerator money that ought to have gone back to the Norwegian taxpayers in the form of welfare services and public investments, but will wait to see what solution the OECD countries agree on. It is too late, mean SV and Ap, which this week went out and called for national measures.
It is reason to support SV and Ap in this question. The negotiations about what kind of regulations can be created to frame techgigantene, pull out in both the OECD and the EUROPEAN union. The reason is that countries have different interests. Ireland, for example, home to Facebook’s european headquarters, and serve well to assist them to retain as much of its profit as possible. Those countries that choose alenegang, such as France, are experiencing a significant pressure from the us government, that will not have something of an onslaught against primarily american companies. The more countries that choose to create their own measures, the more difficult it becomes to get has at all.

the NHO is among the actors have warned against the national domain name policy, and justified it with the fact that it can make international cooperation and projects more difficult and damage to the Norwegian business sector. But the status quo already makes the damage on the Norwegian business sector, international companies have a competitive advantage that national companies do not have. Whether it was lugge some of the companies that must operate in countries with different regulations, can also act as an incentive to get the negotiations in the international forums in the harbour.
While the finance minister is reluctant, ask the Norwegian trade and industry minister Torbjørn Røe Isaksen (H) the Competition authority to prioritise the investigation of international companies, in order to determine whether they violate competition law. It is not so uncommon that it comes double the signals from the Solberg-government, but this question is the reason to support the minister who will hurry up.
