MPs Jørgen H. Kristiansen, Jonas Andersen Sayed, and Hans Edvard Askjer have tabled a proposal to suspend the vehicle tax temporarily. The proposers argue that conflict between the US and Israel against Iran has driven oil prices sharply higher, which will translate into steep fuel costs. They contend that high fuel prices hit low-income households hardest and that suspending the tax would be crucial for rural communities and businesses dependent on road transport.
