The Brønnøysund Register Center, a Norwegian government agency, has partnered with Big Four accounting firm Ernst & Young (EY) to enter the metaverse with a new virtual office.
The center is responsible for managing many public registers for Norway, as well as the government's digital information exchange systems.
According to the announcement, the agency chooses to create a metaverse location because the "future users of public services are out there" and they want to connect with the younger generation who use their services.
Magnus Jones, head of Nordic innovation at EY, told Cointelegraph:
"More and more authorities clearly see the need to be present on the platforms where mainly the younger generations are for both tax and legal purposes with regard to information."
The virtual office plans to offer users information on crypto reporting through the Norwegian Tax Agency and information on how to start a business from Brønnøysund ledger experts.
Andreas Hamnes, business developer at Brønnøysund Registers, said that if services continue to grow as they do now, it will contribute to increasing alienation among generations who are "digital born".
Jones continued to say that it's the next generation that really builds "DeFi-based landscapes", and they often have no idea or lack knowledge about the tax or legal implications.
"That's why Norwegian public authorities want to inform [them] about everything: from how you register a business, at what threshold VAT registrations occur, how to declare your cryptos, etc."
EY also has a metaverse office in Decentraland, following its extensive Web3 development, which includes multi-million dollar investments in the development of its own blockchain suite.
