The Ministry of Finance has calculated that expatriates took NOK 142 billion in deferred income out of the country in 2022 and 2023. Given the current tax rate of 38 percent, this means that we will lose more than NOK 50 billion in tax if we are unable to get them back home before 2027. On the other hand, we lose around NOK 0.77 billion in tax each year because expatriates are exempt from the high and uniquely Norwegian wealth tax. https://www.nhh.no/nhh-bulletin/artikkelarkiv/2025/april/lyt...
The wealth tax increase has lead to less total tax income due to the income tax not being paid to Norway any longer.
As usual the upper middle class pays most of the wealth tax, 12% of the population paid wealth tax. If you have wealth beyond 170.000$ (1.76 million NOK) you pay 1% of the amount above. Private home and second house (cabin) has reduced value. Average salary in Norway is around 700.000 NOK.

Calculating inflation from prices is not easy since people tend to consume more chicken or pork of beef is getting more expensive. If you still only consume beef the price index do not show your personal reality, and this reality is different for all people. In aggregate everything that is produced get consumed over time, so the total prices paid is always connected to the total amount of money available.
IMF: Inflation is the rate of increase in prices over a given period of time. Inflation is typically a broad measure, such as the overall increase in prices or the increase in the cost of living in a country.
Milton Friedman (famous Economists) “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon, in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”
My take is that if more money is produced they will chase the same amount of good until the prices increase enough to accommodate the new money.
Carl Barks described inflation in the best way in his 1950 Donald Duck classic: "A Financial Fable"
