Thematic group on tax law

Taxes and fees are necessary in every well-functioning society. It is the public sector's most important source of income and entails extensive payment obligations on natural and legal persons.

About the group

The central question is how economic values should be created and distributed in a society. Taxes and fees can also be used to influence behavior more specifically, for example by levying a tax on the production of mineral oil or stimulating sales of electric cars.

For income that is linked to activity in several countries, international questions arise related to the distribution of taxation between countries.

Insight into tax law provides an understanding of personal finances, and the finances of businesses and society.

The purpose of the group

The Group is closely related to the project Skatterett@jus at the University of Oslo and is intended to supplement the project. The Group will arrange seminars in tax law, which are open to everyone who works with tax, and to students who are writing a master's thesis in tax law or have a special interest for the subject.

The Group has just started and is under development.
