Stordalen's hotel empire

Stordalen receives a tax hit of 180 million in Norway
Petter Stordalen must pay NOK 180 million to the state. The Oslo District Court confirms this in a judgment, reports E24.
The background is Stordalen's purchase of Strawberry Fields in 2013. The previous owners had invested SEK 3 billion in the holding company, and the rules state that there are SEK 3 billion in tax-free dividends.
Stordalen took advantage of this by extracting 800 million from the company until 2021. But Norwegian authorities claimed that the right to tax-free dividends does not apply if the purpose of the company purchase was to get over the tax credits.
The authorities' demand was therefore that Stordalen should pay close to 230 million Norwegian kroner, but the Oslo district court is now reducing that amount.

The monopoly position of the tech giants
The lawsuit against Apple cost 1,600 billion
After the news that the US Department of Justice is suing Apple, the stock fell more than 4 percent on Wall Street. In terms of market value, it is a blow of 155 billion dollars, according to Bloomberg.
At the same time, the EU's new legislation, the Digital Markets Act, has entered into force and the Commission has started formal investigations into Apple and Google.
Apple cannot escape the fact that authorities around the world are becoming increasingly belligerent in the face of the company's power, says Bill Kovacic, professor of competition law.
- It's getting to a point where the many cases and the scrutiny that comes with them becomes a real hindrance to how these companies operate.
At the same time, several experts assess that Apple's market value will not be significantly affected in the long run, and Bloomberg's David Lee has dismissed the mood as "messy".
Apple is fighting back against the allegations, promising to "vigorously defend itself" against them.

The advice: Pay with cash - and become a regular in the store
More people must pay with cash, otherwise the payment method risks disappearing completely. That's what Anette Staaf, advisor in home preparedness within the Swedish Civil Defense Association, says to P4 Gothenburg.
- In that case, the stores can scrap it completely. There is so much that can happen, she says.
Staaf believes that as a customer you should be able to demand that the stores always be able to pay with cash. She also gives the tip to become a regular customer at a smaller local store because the staff there usually know "how much things cost" even if the payment systems are switched off.
