It's actually a fairly long tradition, it's only been online for the previous decade or so. I'ts easy to access, it's just that for the last few years, you can also see if someone has checked your taxes and who they are. ▶ this video
I suggest checking out Tom Scott's "In Norway, Everyone Can Know How Much You Earn", at ▶ this video And then, have a look at the bibliography in the video description!
Interesting video about somewhat public tax returns, and hence salary, in Norway and other Nordic countries. ▶ this video
