This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
On 5 May 2013, the Norwegian Government announced a proposal to reduce the capital uplift in the petroleum tax system from 30% to 22%, with immediate effect. The proposal includes a reduction in corporation tax from 28% to 27% and an increase in special petroleum tax from 50% to 51%, leaving the marginal rate of tax unchanged at 78%. This will be effective from 1 January 2014. The changes were a surprise, especially given Norway's reputation for fiscal stability.
