Form A01

A-melding - direct registration in Altinn (A01)

This service is for making changes in an a-melding you have previously submitted in Altinn (A01).

If you want to submit an a-melding for a new period, you must do so on skatteetaten.no.

You should not use this form if you have a payroll system, even to change information or correct errors.

Submit a-melding (A01)

It is not possible to send a-melding directly in Altinn (A01) for new periods in 2024

If you need to correct a-melding you previously have sent in A01 for a period in 2023, you should still use A01 for this.

New a-meldings that apply to periods from January 2024 (2024-01) and onwards should be sent directly on skatteetaten.no.

Monthly. Deadline the 5th of each month. If the 5th is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the deadline is the next working day.

Remember to report the status of employment relationships every month. You must report this status even if you do not pay any salary.

Remember to check the feedback.

Every time you submit an a-melding, we carry out automatic checks on it. The feedback you receive states what you have reported and any errors which you must correct. The feedback will also contain information on payments of employer's National Insurance contributions and payroll withholding tax, account number and KID number.

You will find the feedback (A03) in "Inbox" in Altinn.

If you are obliged to submit the a-melding but fail to submit one or submit one which contains errors, you may have to pay an enforcement fine.

The presence of errors or omissions in information which you submit in the a-melding can have consequences for your employees. It can lead to errors in the tax return or erroneous payments from NAV. It is therefore important that you submit accurate information by the deadline for the month.

Remember to state the status of employment relationships every month, even if you do not pay any salary.
