Mellerud believes that the Skattelister system has effectively curbed corruption and ensured tax compliance. However, he noted that its original purpose was facilitated by a time when the internet did not exist, making the information harder to access.

There are no local political discussions about removing the Skattelister. “It is such an integrated part of our system that I think it will never go away,” said Mellerud.

However, Norway’s Skattelister system, which publicly discloses individuals’ tax information, has existed since 1814.

The privacy concerns and risks have prompted some citizens, like Finnish digital nomad and CEO of Sovereign Landing Jaakko Multanen, to leave the country.

Norway publicly discloses the total income, net wealth and taxes paid of all taxpayers, with data readily accessible online. Sweden and Finland publish narrower income data focused on the latest capital gains tax, with Finland focusing primarily on high earners. Unlike Norway, both countries restrict access to wealth information, though the press often compiles and reports lists of top earners.
