In addition, there is 140,000 kroner in social security contributions and possible additional tax. It shows Aftenposten’s calculations of what Ropstad should have taxed in the last ten years.
Aftenposten has revealed that Kjell Ingolf Ropstad (KrF) for ten years received free commuter housing in Oslo because he had not reported moving from the boys’ room in Agder. He did not pay rent or other expenses to his parents.
The tax authorities have stated that politicians who live at home for free must pay tax on the benefit of having free commuter housing.
Ropstad has had free commuter housing from 2010 to 2020. He only taxed the government housing in 2019. Last year he took active steps to avoid having to pay tax on the apartment, which is located in a fashionable area on Frogner.
After several revelations in Aftenposten, the KrF leader is now in contact with the Tax Administration to clean up. We have calculated how large the tax bill can be.
The calculation shows that Ropstad should have paid at least NOK 680,000 more in tax than he has done. In addition, there is 140,000 kroner in social security contributions. Any additional tax is not included.
