      Taxes on revenue would be crazy, no? You would have to entirely change the tax rate or else entire industries would die overnight. Any business with a profit margin below a certain (and high!) number would immediately shut down or dramatically increase their prices.

      Bye bye retail, restaurants, air travel, local business oooor HELLO gigainflation

      Tax on revenue huh? Maybe we should just tax the increased value so we don’t tax the same revenue over and over again. We could call it something like an added value tax.

      This is nonsensical. By your logic those with the biggest expences, because they have the biggest house and the biggest car, would pay the least taxes.

      He is not proposing taxes on revenue, he is proposing allowing regular people to write off their rent + reasonable food expenses, like 1000 usd per month, on their payroll tax.

      „Businesses“ is not sone evil term that represents the okigarchy and ruling class. A business is a guy trying (and barely making it) to make a living selling waffles outside a shopping center. A business is an electrician trying to put food on the table. A business is a way for many to share in wealth without taking all the risk.

      Being double taxed sucks, but even with the double tax most governments can’t service their spending without deficits (Norway uses the oil fund). It’s a necessary evil to provide roads, provide better health to the population, and overall power the institutions we rely on daily

      Welcome to social democracy. We all chip in, so everyone gets at least food, shelter and health care. That’s why we score high on the happy scale.

      Agree with OP that VAT is regressive. However tax on personal income after expenses would just incentivise people to buy better and more expensive stuff, this eroding the tax base. I doubt it would be great for savings rates either

      I think a more reasonable ask would be to remove/reduce VAT on basic items like groceries and household items up to a certain amount.

      Maybe.

      One might disagree with what and how much is taxed, but basing the logic on „you can’t tax the same money twice“ is just stupid. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that, it’s just cæa cheap shot by people not understanding how anything works.

      You already only pay taxes on your profits. Nearly all work-related expenses are deductible for workers, just as they are for businesses.

      Unlike a business, however, your personal bills and rent are not business expenses though.

      Despite that ppl pay tax, governments still rob you legally by printing more money every year causing deflation of your savings.

      Eh, unpopular take probably but I am actually perfectly fine with the taxes I pay in Norway. Coming from Germany, where we have 50% taxes, the 34% I pay currently feel totally justified.

      If I do not have enough money at the end of the month, then that’s not a tax problem, that’s a „my boss really wants that Porsche“ – Problem.

      I’m a bit confused. Isn’t VAT effectively a tax on business revenue generated at sale?

      I guess VAT is exempted for inputs (I.e. a restaurant can get a refund for VAT paid on inputs), but that just ensures that VAT is only assessed at the final sale to the consumer, and to avoid being compounded many many times. This might sound unfair, but eliminating this would massively favour huge corporations who can operate with more vertical integration.
