FR vs DY

bfisk or RTO you seem to be well informed or at least have some good informers:

Is DY paying Trygde tax to the Norwegian tax authorities for their contract pilots? YES or NO?

As far as I am informed, contractors get the full monthly salary/fee (no tax deductions) according to their contract placed on an account choosen by themselves, no questions asked. The contractor will then answer for the tax himself/herself.

So I dont see the big difference between the FR and DY contracts. In both cases, it looks like it is just a simple way to get around the tax authorities to save some tax money. And it doesn't make a difference if someone got a permanent contract afterwards.

I therefore fail to see why someone is picking on FR only when the exact same procedure is used by DY. Could be patriotism, could be that Kjos is The Chosen One, but then again...the tax authorities in Norway should start investigating both DY and FR about these things in order to have a fair and level playing field for all airlines in Scandinavia or Europe for that matter.
