But tax director denies that the IRS knowingly put these taxes higher than necessary.

– No, it’s probably rather so that we try to hit quite so precisely, in terms of tax calculations in advance. But we see that quite a few ask their employer for a little extra tax to save up a small buffer that way. It’s probably among the most important explanations, says Holte.

– Think they deliberately put these taxes too high

Skattebetalerforeningen find it odd that five times as many get money again if the aim is to break even.

– I think that they deliberately put these taxes too high, partly because this is easier for the state as a creditor, says Technical Manager Rolf Lothe Taxpayers Association.

The bottom line for taxpayers organization a state that never get into all the money that it has outstanding, and that it is therefore easier that taxpayers have money for good.
