Norwegian Socialist Left proposes NOK 32B tax hike, wealth tax up NOK 16B

Norway's Socialist Left Party (SV) unveiled an alternative state budget proposing a net annual tax and fee increase of over NOK 32 billion, driven mainly by a NOK 16 billion wealth tax hike and higher climate fees, while removing the document fee for first-time home buyers. The proposal is a political platform ahead of budget negotiations, not enacted policy, and its fate depends on parliamentary dynamics. This signals a leftward fiscal shift in Norwegian politics, potentially affecting investment climate and wealth distribution debates.
