A man in his XNUMXs was sentenced to one year and two months in prison for gross tax evasion. He avoided it for over six years.
The unpaid tax amounted to NOK 5,4 million. He must also pay the state a fine of NOK 540.
In the years 2014-2019, the man provided the tax office with false and incomplete information. Including that he did not disclose that he was actually liable to tax in Norway.
He was convicted of failing to declare taxable income of approximately 12,8 million NOK and assets of NOK 307 million. The court agrees that it was taxable in Norway in respect of all its income and assets in 2014-2019.

The indictment alleges willful tax evasion for three years. He was convicted by the Oslo District Court for gross tax evasion throughout the period. However, the man was acquitted of willful misconduct.
– This is a serious matter, because it concerns many years of tax evasion of a significant amount. Now Økokrim will carefully read the verdict to assess whether there are grounds for appealing the verdict, says First State Attorney Marianne Bender.
