Norwegian reform aims to shift fiscal year to April start
The government plans a bill to begin the fiscal year on April 1, creating a fifteen month period this year and letting the Chamber of Deputies outline the national budget before December 31. Discussions on certain clauses would resume when the chamber reconvenes in February. Tardieu’s move is viewed as a strategic political tactic to win public support. About 18 percent of Norways population earns income from sea related work.
