    I've lived here 6 years, my Norwegian is still rubbish and I have no trouble getting things done. I'm not an expert on the tax system, as I usually let these things sort themselves out, but I've never heard of a 60%+ tax bracket. As far as I know the highest tax bracket is 50%. Sales tax is 25%, there are other duties etc, thrown in on cars, alcohol, tabaco etc. You'll be paying Kr60+ for a pint in Oslo and I assume Bergen. Marlbro 20s are Kr83 at the supermarket. You'll easily get a part time job in a shop earning 135 or 145 an hour.
