The Norwegian Tax Administration has entered into a new partnership with Trøndelag County Municipality aimed at curbing labour market crime. The collaboration focuses on ensuring that municipalities and contractors engage only with reputable suppliers and subcontractors, thereby reducing the risk of fraudulent activities and non‑compliant practices. Under the agreement, both parties will share information and coordinate inspections to identify irregularities in contracting processes, particularly within sectors prone to illicit behaviour. This joint effort is part of a broader strategy to enhance oversight, improve accountability, and protect public resources from misuse. By fostering closer cooperation between tax authorities and local government bodies, the initiative seeks to create a more transparent contracting environment, which ultimately supports fair competition and economic integrity. The partnership also includes mechanisms for reporting suspicions of misconduct and facilitating swift investigative actions. This coordinated approach highlights the Administration's commitment to strengthening governance frameworks and combating economic crime across Norway's diverse sectors.
