The Norwegian government has postponed the implementation of a new COâ‚‚ tax initially set to begin on March 1, 2026, following backlash from companies worried about their competitiveness.
In November, E24 reported on the porcelain manufacturer Figgjo, which expressed concerns that a new climate tax could undermine its competitiveness in the market. On the last Friday of February 2026, the Norwegian government announced that businesses like Figgjo would be subject to the COâ‚‚ tax starting on Sunday, March 1. However, just two days later, the government declared a postponement of the tax implementation.
