Turnover in IT sector has dropped from 50 to 2 percent of the total turnover in Oslo Stock Exchange in ten years, while the IT sector flourishes in the United States. The manager of the leading Norwegian IT company, Visma believes the reason of this huge difference is the high taxes to run IT business in Norway.
According to E24, Moan believes it is particularly property taxes that make it challenging to improve the companies that do not pay dividends. Then, they end up with foreign owners. He also stated that Denmark and Sweden have realized that this system does not work and accused Norway of not understanding this.
