LOL We are talking about Norway. What does Denmark and California have to do with Norway? Are you trying to change the subject?

Norway is one of the most heavily taxed countries on earth, and far more heavily taxed than the US.

If you don't trust the Heritage foundation, include links for your own trusted sources, not just numbers you pull out of the air.

How much are you willing to bet that the top marginal rate in Norway is a lot more than 19%???

Norway VAT is appx 25%...

Assets tax is 2% of total assets (home valued at apprx 10%) I do not know if this is net assets or not.

Cost of living quite high -- Gas roughly $9/gal.

New Volvo or Saab approx USD 100K.

Drivers license approx USD 5K.

All cars including rent a cars have transponders for tolls.

Tunels under Bergen are toll.

Never the less, quality of life is quite high... and the place, especially the country side is beautiful.
