Norway's income tax records published online

Norwegian newspapers published income tax records for 2003 on their websites today, along with stories about top earners. It's all about fighting corruption, exposing bloodsuckers and protecting our God-given right to stick our nose in other people's business. Though searching is more restricted than earlier years, almost everything I said last year still applies.

Bjørn: I am, of course, not as principled as you in these matters. For those english readers who wonder how much people earn - here's me and Bjørn (it's available anyways):

Stærk, Bjørn, born 1978, tax-county: Oslo, savings: 78000NOK ($11330), income: 274200NOK ($39832), tax: 93729NOK ($13615)

Viken, Rune Kristian, born 1979, tax-county: Kvinesdal, savings: 0, income: 97800NOK ($14207), tax: 30164NOK ($4381)

Now, since Bjørn and I are good friends, and he - according to this - earns three times what I earn - I feel much better about him buying most of the beer we drink ;D


And there goes the myth of high earnings in Norway... I'd thought this was stopped about two years ago; looking at those (old) figures, I'd wondered where the high-cost/standard-of-living-translates-to-high-earnings myth about Norway sprouted from. And, with the format in your link, it appears more info is needed to find any number you may need...
