– We have helped to reduce taxes and fees by NOK 34 billion in recent years. Over the next four years, we will go to the polls to reduce taxes further by NOK 26 billion, says FRP leader Sylvi Listhaug to Dagbladet.
If Frp gets what they want, she promises a total of 26.2 billion kroner in tax cuts over the next four years.
– We want lower pump prices, reduced taxes, no property tax and cheaper electricity. FRP will let you keep more of your own money, says Listhaug.

Cheaper gasoline
She will take the money from aid, immigration and integration, as well as cuts in climate measures.
– How are you going to cover this?
– We will drop the electrification of the shelf, as the other parties want. That alone will save us 40-50 billion kroner. In addition, we will spend much less money on asylum and immigration, says Listhaug.
The party leader promises that the concrete coverages will come when they present a state budget or alternative budget in the future.
– Unlike other parties that promise gold and green forests, we have proposals for concrete and real proposals for coverings. We can not have a tax level that gives you less freedom, puts your job at risk and affects those who have the least from before, says Listhaug.
FRP goes to the polls to reduce the road toll to NOK 2.50 per liter, both for petrol, diesel and biodiesel. In addition, they will lower the taxes on cross-border goods to the Swedish level, as well as remove the electricity tax.

The party leader herself has spent much of the summer on an election campaign tour with the motorhome, where she has noticed the high diesel prices.
– I have been around and tested a number of petrol stations this summer, and it is clear that the high pump prices are something many people are concerned about, because it is very noticeable on the wallet, says Listhaug.
– FRP will reduce the toll, so that the pump price of fuel will be cheaper. FRP’s proposal will amount to just over 3,000 kroner in lower fuel costs a year for someone who drives 15,000 km a year with a petrol car, their calculation shows, she continues.

Prioritizes the electricity tax
– Does the FRP have credibility in tax cuts after many years with the Minister of Finance?
– We have already received through cuts in cross-border trade of 4.5 billion kroner by removing sugar tax and taxes on snus and alcohol. We are going down to the Swedish level to secure Norwegian jobs. We will also reduce taxes on fuel.
– The rest of the parties will increase the taxes on CO₂ further, which will increase the price of diesel and petrol by 4-5 kroner per liter. Then I register that you are trying to decorate the bridge by somehow protecting motorists in the districts. I do not think so until I see it, says Listhaug.
Races against Aps sausage stunt
The highest tax on the priority list is the electricity tax.
– It will be prioritized quickly, because it is now announced that high electricity prices are expected as a result of low rainfall. At the same time, it is also known that the electricity price will increase sharply in the long run as a result of increased electricity use for electric cars and other things, as well as electrification of the shelf, which we in FRP are otherwise strongly opposed to, she says.
– You have had both the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Transport for a number of years under Erna and the promise to remove tolls completely was never fulfilled. Why should voters believe in you now?
– We are the only party that wants to remove the toll. Last spring, we proposed using the infrastructure fund to repay all toll debts, but were voted down by all other parties. In Møre og Romsdal, we have removed all toll stations on land and saved motorists NOK 1.4 billion. Unfortunately, we see that all other parties are in full swing to put in place new toll projects that will give people large expenses in the years to come, especially around Ålesund.

Q: – Lacks credibility
The Center Party’s leading fiscal politician, Sigbjørn Gjelsvik, is no longer impressed with Listhaug’s plan.
– FRP lacks any credibility on this. They must be measured on what they did when they had the Minister of Finance for 6.5 years. Then they increased the fees to a record high level. They gave tax cuts to those who have the most from before, while those who have the least received a tax increase and record high expenses, says Gjelsvik.
He does not think the voters can be convinced by the promises, after they got to see what the FRP got through in his time in government.
– You can ask, for example, those who fill the car with petrol, commuters or taxi drivers who have received thousands of extra in fees, about what they think about what they have received from Frp. To mention some.
The summons to court: – Refuses to stand
– I understand well that the FRP thinks this is unpleasant, but they must be measured on the priorities they made when they were in power. This is what ultimately shows what you want to prioritize, because it is easy to come up with such proposals in an election campaign, says Gjelsvik.
– But they have, among other things, gotten through cuts in sugar, tobacco and alcohol?
– Yes, after they left government, so. But then they have only reduced some of the taxes in the record increase that they themselves stood for while in government. They can not expect praise for it.
– So people will get lower taxes with Sp in government than Frp?
– We are very clear that we want to lower the fees, so that those who have the least from before will be affected the least by the fees. It is an important priority that we go to the polls for, and that we ask for people’s trust that we want to prioritize.
