Persons who have not earned pension points or accumulated pension reserves in the National Insurance Scheme and have private pensions/disability benefits or war veteran pensions

If you have not earned pension points or accumulated pension reserves in the National Insurance Scheme you are not liable to pay tax in Norway on pensions and disability benefits from private occupational pension schemes and other private pension schemes. Nor are you liable to tax on war veteran pensions.

If you receive only a war veteran pension you can apply for a tax exemption card. If you also receive a retirement pension you can apply for a tax deduction card with a lower tax rate than 15 percent.

You must contact the Norwegian Tax Administration to get a tax exemption card, or a tax deduction card with a lower tax rate than 15 percent.
