  • Den Norske Advokatforening (PDF, 237KB)
    Finansdepartementet Sendt elektronisk Deres ref.: 15/2550 SL AEI/KR Dato: 19. juni 2017 Vår ref.: 243776 Høring - Forslag om endring av skatteloven § 2-2 første ledd 1. Innledning Vi viser til departementets høringsbrev av 16.3.2017 vedrørende ovennevnte høring. Det er en prioritert oppgave for Advokatforeningen å drive rettspolitisk arbeid gjennom høringsuttalelser. Advokatforeningen har derfor en rekke lovutvalg inndelt etter fagområder. I våre lovutvalg sitter advokater med særskilte kunnskaper innenfor det aktuelle fagfelt og hvert lovutvalg består av advokater med ulik erfaringsbakgrunn og kompetanse innenfor fagområdet. Arbeidet i lovutvalgene er frivillig og ulønnet. Advokatforeningen ser det som sin oppgave å være en uavhengig høringsinstans med fokus på rettssikkerhet og på kvaliteten av den foreslåtte lovgivningen. I saker som angår advokaters rammevilkår vil imidlertid regelendringen også bli vurdert opp mot advokatbransjens interesser. Det vil i disse tilfellene bli opplyst at vi uttaler oss som en berørt bransjeorganisasjon og ikke som et uavhengig ekspertorgan. Årsaken til at vi sondrer mellom disse rollene er at vi ønsker å opprettholde og videreutvikle den troverdighet Advokatforeningen har som et uavhengig og upolitisk ekspertorgan i lovgivningsprosessen. I den foreliggende sak uttaler Advokatforeningen seg som ekspertorgan. Saken er forelagt lovutvalget for skatterett. Lovutvalget består av Hanne Kristin Skaarberg Holen (elder), Cecilie Amdahl. Andreas Bullen, Thor Leegaard, Stine Lettrem-Eliassen, Amund Noss. Advokatforeningen avgir følgende høringsuttalelse: 2. Sakens bakgrunn Finansdepartementet foreslår i høringsnotatet en regel om at selskaper som er stiftet i Norge er hjemmehørende i Norge for skatteformål. I tillegg foreslås at selskaper som har reell ledelse i Norge er hjemmehørende her. Unntak fra dette skal etter forslaget gjelde der hvor et selskap er hjemmehørende i en annen stat etter skatteavtale.

  • Real Estate Investment in Norway
    Real Estate Investment in Norway THE LEGAL PERSPECTIVE REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT IN NORWAY Introduction Norway is a diverse industrial society, with a free market economy and generally low trade barriers. It has little bureaucracy, clear laws and the red tape is not as prohibitive as in other countries. Extensive use of computer technology in the public sector and simple and streamlined business rules are key reasons why it is easy to conduct business in Norway. In addition, Norway is generally included in the internal market of the EU, as the country is a party to the EEA (European Economic Area) Agreement and is also a member of EFTA (the European Free Trade Association). The Norwegian real estate team at DLA Piper form part of one of the largest real estate teams in the world. As a single unit, we are able to operate across borders, to simplify the management of your project, in Norway and intentionally. Each of our Norwegian lawyers demonstrates the DLA Piper philosophy of everything matters so you will receive a consistently high standard of personal service and quality advice. This document is intended to serve as a guide to the most relevant civil and tax law aspects of investing in Norwegian real estate. The guide is by no means exhaustive, so if you have any further questions relating to the material, our experienced Norwegian real estate team will be more than happy to assist you. 2 WWW.DLAPIPER.COM Contents 1.
