Test submission of third party information which must be submitted as a file attachment.
The Tax Administration offers test submissions to declarants and other senders who are submitting third-party information as file attachments via Altinn.
Test submissions in brief
We recommend that everyone who reports third-party data as file attachments takes part in testing. By participating, you can test the entire value chain, including validation of the file format, the submission process itself, and checking the feedback on the submitted data.
We can receive test files all year round.
Before submitting third-party data in XML format, you should test the file format yourselves.
- You can only upload third-party data as attachments using the manual reporting solution at skatteetaten.no (RF-1301), not via an API.
- For security reasons, we only accept XML files. We do not accept ZIP files.
- A single file can be up to 2 GB.
- A single file can only contain data for one statement submitter*, one scheme, and one income year at a time. If you're submitting data for more than one statement submitter or scheme, or corrections for previous income years, the data must be placed in separate files.
- You can submit up to 20 files at the same time. Each file is treated as one delivery with its own feedback (20 files = 20 deliveries).
- We use a cloud service to check the file you upload. To avoid firewall issues, make sure that your firewall allows access to stincomingplattformskarp.blob.core.windows.net using its FQDN.
The requirement that a delivery may only include one party with a duty of disclosure per submission is not defined in the XSD, but the service validation will return an error in the feedback if the delivery contains more than one.

How to test
A new form for reporting third-party data as attachments on skatteetaten.no is available. The link will lead you to the form in a test environment with synthetic test data.
Third-party data as an attachment (TEST)
When you submit third-party data, you'll receive a response in the Tax Administration's new inbox (lenke til /inbox/ i testmiljø).
You must have a test person
You must have a test person in order to be able to submit test files to the Tax Administration. You’ll find information about this at Tenor testdatasøk. When you search for a test person, it's important to make sure that they have the correct role in the company. We recommend using a test user with the role of general manager.
Please note that the test persons are not assigned to individual test submitters. Therefore, the same test person can be used by more than one test submitter.
Your file attachments must only contain synthetic data
For privacy reasons, any files submitted to the Norwegian Tax Administration’s test environment must only contain synthetic data. Synthetic data are artificial data that are not based on real data. Synthetic data must not contain any information identifying persons or enterprises. Examples of identifiable information include organisation numbers, national registration numbers, addresses, telephone numbers, and similar information.
If you submit files that contain any information other than synthetic data, these files will not be processed.
Feedback
You can retrieve feedback on reported third-party data via an API or download it from your inbox at the Tax Administration. The feedback is available in PDF, XML, and CSV formats.
