MMFs don't cut the electricity tax - they get rid of it. The party's alternative budget, which was unveiled on Thursday, has reduced a number of taxes and fees.

The party claims that significant cuts in taxes and fees will be financed by NOK 27,6 billion in dividends from the Folketrygdfondet. And also from increased dividends from Statkraft – “which earns well on high energy prices "electricity".

- High prices will primarily affect ordinary people, while the state earns a lot of money from high oil prices. In turn, the state and municipalities earn well from very high electricity prices. We believe that this wealth should be shared with ordinary people. That is why we will lower taxes, says fiscal spokesman Hans Andreas Limi in a press release.

FRP proposes, among others:

You will remove both the electricity tax and VAT.

Reduction of the diesel and petrol fee to NOK 1 per liter.

Food VAT reduced from 15 percent to 12 percent.

Removal of tax on packaging for soda cans and bottles.

Lowering taxes on alcohol and tobacco.

The MMF removes the electricity tax

According to Frp. households that use 20 kilowatt hours per year will save more than 000 NOK at an electricity price of NOK 11 per kilowatt hour.

The MMF is also cutting the tax on NRK and forgoing what has been described as the "symbolic Langskip climate project".

- The alternative state budget of MMF is all about stopping the waste. This means we must stop sending billions of kronor each year for symbolic climate measures, ineffective aid and unsuccessful immigration and integration, says party leader Sylvi Listhaug.
