Abstract

In Norway the tax system for fossil fuels is a ‘green’ tax and encompasses most petroleum products through the petrol tax and the tax on mineral oil. Both these taxes have a carbon dioxide (CO2) element. In May 1988, the Norwegian Parliament (the Storting) resolved that fishermen should be exempted from paying the basic tax on mineral oil (diesel). The exemption covers the CO2 tax and the basic tax on mineral oil that is supplied for use on board the fishing and hunting vessels listed in the vessel register.
