Serious errors in NHO's tax report
Petter Bjerksund, Guttorm Schjelderup and Floris T. Zoutman: Menon's tax report for NHO misleads readers. It inflates the importance of wealth tax and sets up calculations that falsely double the effective average tax rate.
Menon Economics has just published a report on the level of taxation in Norway called "Owner taxation in Norway - a knowledge update" ("Eierbeskatningen i Norge – en kunnskapsoppdatering"). The title is unfortunately misleading and emphasizes the problem of using consulting companies to confirm the client NHO's expectations, Petter Bjerksund, Guttorm Schjelderup and Floris T. Zoutman write.
