The Norwegian Government’s proposed resource rent tax on aquaculture

Press release 28/03/2023

The Government will today present a bill proposing a resource rent tax on aquaculture. The intention of the proposal is to ensure that local communities along the coast and society as a whole receive a greater share of the value that is created by the fish farming industry. The host municipalities will receive more. The increased revenues will enable the municipalities to invest more in schools, elderly care and other important welfare services for their citizens.
