> fines are not deductible in Norway.

If a company tried I think it should be viewed as contempt of court. A company trying to get money back for which it was fined would basically be them thumbing their nose at the fine. Maybe that is why fines are not deductible.

See that’s the thing about being a global company: You can pay off the fines in one country as part of an expense for a branch in another, where it can then be deducted from taxes in that foreign country. So yea, fuck you courts.
