*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
Norway’s petroleum sector is transforming, but its fiscal system has been the most stable in the world for 25 years. Is it still fit for purpose? In this Insight we summarise the current fiscal debate. What effect the exploration tax refund has had on the sector and government fortunes? Can the government achieve its aim of fiscal neutrality under the current system? Is the current tax system competitive with the UK, and US (GoM), where tax rates have recently been reduced? This Insight will provide you with a thorough understanding of the current Norwegian tax system and its future challenges.
