The technology industry in Norway supports international tax
Norwegian technology companies are now expressing support for an international tax solution for large tech giants. The organization TEK Norway emphasizes that they prefer common rules over national special taxes.
The director of TEK Norway states that they support the work being done through the OECD to find a global consensus on taxation. They believe that an international agreement is the best way to ensure fair competition in the digital market.
In addition to the OECD track, the organization is open to the idea that a solution through the EU could be a good path to take. The goal is to avoid individual countries introducing their own rules, which could create complications for both businesses and authorities.
The debate over how large, international technology companies should be taxed has been ongoing for a long time. By supporting international frameworks, the industry in Norway hopes to contribute to predictable framework conditions for all actors in the sector.
