Description
Transparency is also a key dimension of the Norwegian Government’s recently adopted Action Plan Against Economic Crime (March 2011). The action plan discusses country for country reporting. This is a measure designed to increase transparency and involves requiring that multinational companies and enterprises include tax information when they publish their annual accounts. This could supplement other, more specific measures designed to ensure that correct revenues are made subject to taxation in different countries. The Commission of the European Union is currently considering whether such a requirements should be introduced in the EU. As set out in the action plan, the Government is will to consider introducing such requirements in Norway, either in connection with new EU legislation in this area, or on an independent basis.
