Reference is made to the press release 28 September 2022 from the Norwegian Government.
The Norwegian Government proposes to introduce a resource tax in the amount of 40% on salmon farmed in Norwegian ocean territory for volume above 4-5,000 tonnes with effect from the tax year 2023. The proposal does not yet contain all details and is still subject to a public hearing as well as approval by the Norwegian Parliament.
Grieg Seafood will assess how the proposal will impact the Group’s business and strategy, should it be adopted in the current form. While this assessment is conducted, the Group has put new investments on hold.
