When using Norway as an example of a rent resource tax often not mentioned is:
It was founded in 1972 as a fully government owned company.
The resource rent tax was introduced in 1975, while it was still 100% government owned.
The company was floated in 2001.
The government Norwegian government still owns 67% of Statoil.
The resource rent tax only affects oil and gas off the Norwegian coast, not commodities.
not very comparable are they.
