28 Mar 2023 08:50 CEST

Reference is made to the press release 28 March 2023 from the Norwegian
government.

The Norwegian government has today presented an updated proposal for resource
rent tax on aquaculture in Norway. This is a proposal which must be approved by
the Norwegian Parliament where one expect final clarification before the summer.

SalMar submitted a detailed response to the public consultation process clearly
and strongly opposing the proposed tax. The basis for the tax proposal assumes
the salmon industry generates excessive returns compared to the risk involved,
but this is not accurate. And SalMar strongly emphasized that the proposal
should be permanently set aside.
