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. This tax receipt shows the amount of tax you’ve paid in Norway.

  • View, edit or submit the tax return

    You are responsible for checking the information and correcting any errors or missing information.
  • What is a tax return?

    If you work in Norway or on the Norwegian continental shelf, you will receive a pre-completed tax return from the Norwegian Tax Administration.
  • Films about tax in several languages

    Here you’ll find short films about the tax return, the tax assessment and the voluntary tax scheme PAYE (Pay As You Earn). These films have been made for foreign workers.
  • The deduction wizard

    Here is an overview of the most commonly deductions which you may be entitled to as a foreign employee in Norway.
  • What are you liable to pay tax on in Norway?

    In Norway, you'll normally be liable to pay tax on all your income and wealth that you've had in Norway and abroad.
  • Income abroad

    When you are a tax resident in Norway, you'll be liable to pay tax in Norway on all income that you have earned abroad.
  • Debt and interest on debt abroad

    When you are a tax resident in Norway, you'll be entitled to a deduction for debts you have abroad.
  • Do you have wealth abroad?

    When you are a tax resident in Norway, you'll also be liable to pay tax on all wealth that you have abroad.
  • Property abroad

    When you are a tax resident in Norway, you'll generally be liable to pay tax in Norway on gains you have made on the sale of real property, rental income and the tax value of your property abroad.
  • Tax liability for foreign employees with a foreign employer

    Tax treaties between Norway and other countries may limit your obligation to pay tax in Norway.
  • Are you exempt from the requirement to pay national insurance contributions in Norway?
