Recently there was news about some Norwegian guy buying a flat with his "rediscovered" bitcoins.

So.. did he paid any tax?

maybe he sold his bitcoins before norway made a verdict, and so the statute of limitations apply to him?

So if i 'm getting it right they decided that if you have gains in fiat from selling bitcoins that gain is taxable.
Isn't that something to be expected?

It is..

But if i want to buy Bitcoins in norway I have to pay 25% on the going rate. If i move these coins to an exchange in some country, i do not get the 25% tax back.

There is a reason why someone smuggling gold into norway.. They get 25% more than the going rate.

Problem is that they dont understand what it is, and they give a answer on the laws/rules they have.

It will take a while before they change anything. As usual

First you need the Financial department to declare bitcoin as currency. Then you can maybe get some changes on the Tax part.

it is problem for Norwegian exchanges (if there are any) I guess because how they are going to check that overseas or even at localbitcoins.
Anyway I think it's really stupid idea to put VAT on bitcoin because you are not paying VAT for items already in circulation (eg. used) except for mining.

so the trick is, to never convert back into krone in any large quantities.

I would believe it is the "trick" all of us in all countries should do, but I guess people are free to go "back"...
