Taxation of capital income and wealth redistributes from the rich but may harm the Norwegian
economy as business investments is distorted. This study shows how to redistribute from the
richest without distorting investment decisions of foreign and domestic investors within a
simplified model framework designed for modest levels of taxes on capital income and wealth.
A wealth tax without a discount for working capital combined with a tax rate on ordinary
income equal to the corporate tax rate abroad achieves these goals. This tax proposal is
assessed based on previous results on taxation.
