Norway: transferring to own wallet taxable?

I'm hoping there's someone here with knowledge about the Norwegian tax system. I contacted the Norwegian tax authorities to ask about taxation rules for transferring funds from my Coinbase account to my own Trezor wallet. I later found an article on Coinbase which - rather logically - made a claim that this would not be taxable. https://coinpanda.io/no/kryptovaluta-skatt/ The reply I received today from the tax authorities seems to suggest the opposite - that it is indeed taxable. This does not make any sense to me, now that I think about it. Wouldn't this basically make the concept of wallets useless in Norway, if you're effectively selling your crypto each time you make such a transfer? Is there anyone here who by chance had some statement from Skatteetaten or Finansdepartementet that can support the Coinpanda position, that this should not be taxable? submitted by /u/gxobino [link] [comments]
