No. As I understand it, BitCoin will be treated like a physical asset. For example the same as a gold bar.

In Norway assets are subjected to value added tax, but currencies are not. This makes bartering problematic. For example a 1 oz gold bar will cost about 10000 NOK in Norway (8000 NOK for the gold, and 2000 NOK in vat).

But a 1 oz gold coin will only cost 8000 NOK because the coins are considered a currency, and thus not subject to vat. If you are going to barter 1 oz of gold for something it is thus better to use a gold coin, then a gold bar.
