Formue Expects Tighter Rules on Tax-Free Capital Repayments Despite Budget Delay
  • Formue expects tighter tax rules despite few changes proposed in Norway's 2027 budget, urging shareholders to review paid-in capital.
  • Both proposed models would end tax-free repayments of paid-in capital exceeding shareholders' tax basis.
  • Shareholders with significantly negative tax bases should consider planned succession transfers before likely restrictions on transfers to children's holding companies.
  • No inheritance tax was proposed, though its eventual exclusion from a broader tax agreement remains uncertain.
  • Transferring shares to an expatriate child's Norwegian holding company could become subject to exit tax; affected families should consider acting now.
