Please note: the last proposition was put forward by the Government on 20 March. It has not been voted on in the Parliament yet and more changes or extensions are expected.
Proposed actions:
- Change corporate tax regulations so that companies that are loss making can re-allocate their loss towards previous years’ taxed surplus
- Owners of lossmaking companies should be able to postpone payments of wealth tax. This will reduce the need for firms to provide dividends to owners to cover the wealth tax
- Suspend the tax on air passengers for flights in the period from 1 January 2020 until 31 October 2020
- VAT will be reduced from 12 to 8% in the period from March 20, 2020 to October 31, 2020
- The deadline for payment of the first VAT period is deferred from 14 April to 10 June 2020
- The deadline for payment of "annen termin forskuddsskatt" - need to translate this - for companies is postponed from 15 April to 1 September 2020
- The deadline for payment of employers' contributions is postponed from 15 May to 15 August 2020
