The tax return for foreign workers

Persons working in Norway will receive a tax return. It is an outline of your income, deductions, wealth and debt. To make sure that you do not pay too much tax, you must check that the information in your tax return is correct.

If you take part in the PAYE (Pay As You Earn) scheme, you will not receive a tax return. Instead, you will get a tax receipt. Foreign artists and sports persons who are taxed under the Foreign Artists Tax Act do not receive a tax return either, but may request confirmation of paid artist tax. This tax receipt shows the amount of tax you’ve paid in Norway.
