 So they didn't add the exit tax? You pay 1.1% wealth tax to stay or 20% wealth tax to exit the country. 
 You’d have to ask @Rune Østgård about that. My impression is that they increased the wealth tax, the ultra rich left, then they added the exit tax later on/just recently? 
 From AI : The exit tax in Norway is a departure tax levied on individuals who leave the country permanently and have Norwegian tax resident status at the time of departure. The tax is intended to ensure that the Norwegian government gets its share of tax revenue from individuals who have moved abroad.

Here's how the exit tax typically works in Norway:

1. **Tax liability**: The individual is required to calculate their tax liability in Norway for the year of departure and for any subsequent years up to a maximum of 10 years.
2. **Tax base**: The tax base is typically the individual's worldwide income, including income from Norwegian sources, foreign sources, and foreign tax credits.
3. **Tax rate**: The tax rate is usually the same as the individual's normal tax rate in Norway.
4. **Tax amount**: The tax amount is calculated as a percentage of the individual's tax base, typically ranging from 10% to 50% of the tax base.
5. **Payment**: The individual is required to pay the exit tax to the Norwegian Tax Authority (Skatteetaten) before departing the country.

**Key aspects of the exit tax in Norway:**

* The exit tax is typically levied on the individual's worldwide income, including income from Norwegian sources, foreign sources, and foreign tax credits.
* The tax is usually paid before departing Norway and is usually due by January 1st of the year after departure.
* The individual may be able to claim foreign tax credits against their Norwegian tax liability, which can reduce the amount of tax owed.
* The exit tax is usually calculated based on the individual's tax liability for the year of departure and for any subsequent years up to a maximum of 10 years.

**Example:**

Assume an individual has a tax liability of NOK 1 million in Norway for the year of departure. If the tax rate is 30%, the individual would owe NOK 300,000 in exit tax. If the individual also has foreign tax credits of NOK 200,000, they may be able to claim a credit against the Norwegian tax liability, reducing the amount of tax owed to NOK 100,000.

**Note:** The specific rules and regulations surrounding the exit tax in Norway may be subject to change. It's always best to consult with a tax professional or the Norwegian Tax Authority for the most up-to-date information. 
 They tightened the wealth tax too this year, but they had already increased the wealth tax.
