Register or change bank account number for payments from the Tax Administration

To receive payments from the Tax Administration, you must register an account number. If you wish to change the account number, log in and change to a different account number.

Have you received a letter about a tax refund for a decedent’s estate?

We have changed the method for calculating tax on share income for decendents’ estates for the income years from 2020 to 2023.

If you have received a letter you need to register an account number by using form New or changed account number for tax refunds.

Bank account numbers that require a KID number cannot be used. 

Different approaches to changing account number

If a person has passed away, you, as the person responsible for the estate, can register which account the remaining balance should be paid to. You do this in the same way as when changing your own account number, but you must select the estate when logging in.

If you are unable to use this solution, you, as the person responsible for the estate, can fill out form New or changed account number for tax refunds and specify which account you want the remaining balance to be paid to.

Once the account is registered, you will receive a confirmation. 

To register an account number for a deleted company, you must use a form in Altinn. Which form to use, depends on your role in the company, which accesses you’ve previously given and how the company was dissolved.

If all the company’s accounts are deleted and you have to register an account that does not belong to the company, we need to know who the owner of the account is.

Use the form Write to us.

You must state what the application concerns and include the name and organisation number of the company. 

The former chairman will have access to register or change the account number if a liquidation board has not been established.

Use New or changed account number for tax payment (previously RF-1520) When you are asked to choose who you want to represent, choose to see liquidated businesses in the list and select the business for which you will change the account number. Fill out and submit the form.

If you do not have a Norwegian BankID, you can log in with ID-porten and a PIN code to log in to the self-service solution.

If you’re not an online user, you can use the form kontoopplysninger (“account information” in Norwegian only) to change your account number.

If you’re unable to change the account number online, you can send us a letter. Add a copy of your proof of identity and a printout from the bank that shows that you own or dispose over the account you want the money transferred to. 

Send the letter to: 

Skatteetaten 
Postboks 9200 Grønland  
0134 Oslo 

If there are other reasons why you’re unable to change your account number as you wish, please write to us. 

You’ll receive a confirmation

You’ll receive a confirmation from us once the account is registered. If you’re an online user, you’ll receive an email or an SMS when the confirmation is ready.

If there is no registered account number

If we do not have your account number, we cannot pay the refund. If this applies to you, you’ll receive a separate letter from us.
