Launched in June (2017), the initiative has received a lukewarm reception, with the equivalent of just $1,325 in extra revenue being collected so far, according to the Finance Ministry. That’s not much for a country of 5.3 million people, many of whom are already accustomed to paying some of the highest taxes in the world (the top rate of income tax is 46.7 percent).

“The tax scheme was set up to allow those who want to pay more taxes to do so in a simple and straightforward way,” Finance Minister Siv Jensen said in an emailed comment. “If anyone thinks the tax level is too low, they now have the chance to pay more.”

Da wird das wohl nichts mit dem Bedinungslosen Grundeinkommen, zumindestens nicht ohne staatlichen Zwang, denn die Steuern werden wohl explodieren und nicht mal die umverteilungsfreudigen Skandinavier wollen zahlen.
