The Storting has not been familiar with the tax regulations, he writes Aftenposten.
– If you do not have additional costs related to housing at your place of residence, you will also not be able to get coverage of free housing from the employer tax-free, says section leader Lene Ringså in the Tax Administration.
This means that parliamentary representatives who are registered in a place other than Oslo, but do not have housing expenses in the other place, would probably have to pay tax for these homes.
The Prime Minister’s Office, which distributes commuter housing to ministers, has a different practice.
KrF leader Kjell Ingolf Ropstad says Aftenposten that he will now contact the Tax Administration to clarify the conditions around his much talked about commuter home in Oslo.
