Experiences with Skatteetaten

12 years ago

This post is connected to my other post about "Experiences with UDI"

Has your life been affected by confusion and chaos surround UDI on one hand apparently trying to make sure you don't live in Norway limiting Norway's obligations to you whilst Skatteetaten has been insisting you DO live in Norway since it wants your taxes?

As I said in the "Experiences with UDI" post, a prominent UK politician believes I have been abused by the Norwegian State for about 22 years now and wishes to take the matter up at the very, very highest levels especially bearing in mind British workers may well be contemplating working in Norway as the austerity measures in the UK bite.

It's actually quite a sensible move since the cost in man hours of administering many more cases such as mine could be considerable and to "nip this issue in the bud" is better than having British workers being forced to return to the UK because they have no residence rights in Norway after their working lives are over with many of their Norwegian tax contributions lost or stolen (as is the case with me on 2 separate occasions, one was just theft by the Norwegians administering my tax, the second, much larger £35,000 cannot be investigated since the Norwegian body collecting the taxes refuses to reply to my emails trying to find out what happened to the tax deductions).

Please, politely and without maligning the very many wonderful Norwegians and their fine country, put your experiences here and I'll see if your case can be added to mine. It will give greater weight to my case and is a more efficient way of prosecuting this case.
