Norway Exit Tax: What It Is and Why Billionaires Still Leave the Country

As I understand it the issue is if their startup is successful at first, founder moves abroad to launch in other countries, but then the company fails.

Didn't fully grasp the details but it had to do with time of valuation vs when you have to pay up.

So seems a lot of them are thinking it's better to move out as soon as possible, or even before you start the company.

As a plain employee it's difficult to assess these things, tough I do find the taxation of intangible values like stocks to be weird. Gut feeling says one should tax what's been realized, either directly through sale or when used as collateral etc.
