That’s a shame to hear. While I understand why Norway taxes alcohol, placing such high taxes on a low-alcohol alternative encourages purchase of higher alcohol

That’s a shame to hear. While I understand why Norway taxes alcohol, placing such high taxes on a low-alcohol alternative encourages purchase of higher alcohol options in the same product category.
Ideally low alchol beer would have a mild tax discount to encourage sustainable consumption.
- ipqk 3y agoThat is sort of the case. Lower alcohol drinks are taxed less per volume. But taxes are so high, that even low-alcohol drinks are still expensive. A 3% beer is taxed ~US$1.25 for a half liter. https://www.skatteetaten.no/en/business-and-organisation/vat-and-duties/excise-duties/about-the-excise-duties/alcoholic-beverage-tax/ https://www.skatteetaten.no/en/business-and-organisation/vat...
