    Following the Norwegian government's proposal to increase the salmon farming tax rate, the largest salmon producer in the Faroe Islands issued a notice on the Oslo Stock Exchange, and the Faroese government also proposed to amend the salmon farming tax rate, but the tax amount is far less severe
    than Norway.
     
    It is alleged that on September 30, the Faroese government issued a proposal for tax rate changes, including three main details of the change (below): 1) The price threshold range corresponding to the applicable tax rate was adjusted from 3 to 5; 2) Raise the tax rate corresponding to the salmon price threshold; 3) Link the price threshold to the cost of Faro farming and evaluate
    it annually.
     
     
     
    From 2023 onwards, the proposed tax rate will be changed to:
     
    · If the salmon spot price is lower than DDK 39.
    15/kg (NOK 55/kg), the tax rate is 0.
    5%;
     
    · Salmon prices range from DDK 39.
    15/kg to DDK 44.
    15/kg at a rate of 2.
    5%;
     
    · Salmon prices range from DDK 44.
    15/kg to DDK 54.
    15/kg at a rate of 5%;
     
    · Salmon prices range from DDK 5415/kg to DDK 69.
    15/kg at a rate of 7.
    5%;
     
    · Salmon prices above DDK 69.
    15/kg at a rate of 10%.
     
    Prior to this, the maximum tax rate for Faroese salmon was 5%, with the new tax rate of up to 10%.
    Nils Thommesen, an analyst at Norwegian firm Fearnley Securities, predicted that if the Faroe Islands implemented the new tax policy, Bakkafrost's yield per share would fall by 4-6% in the 2023-24 fiscal year, but Bakkafrost was previously affected by Norway by 16%.

     
    Thommesen said that based on the strong market foundation of the salmon industry, Fearnley Securities maintains a "buy" rating
    on Bakkafrost stock.
