Norway's tax treaties

When you’re a tax resident in Norway, you must declare all your foreign income and wealth in the Norwegian tax return. Remember to register in which country you have income and wealth.

Norway has entered into tax treaties with many countries and agreed on where the income/wealth should be taxed. If you own real property that generates any income in any of the countries in the list below, you can see how you’ll be taxed.

Even if you’re not to be taxed in Norway for the wealth/income abroad, you still have to declare it in your tax return. Mark the income as “not taxable” in the tax return. Your wealth will be correctly calculated based on the information about the property’s location.

Deductions for Norwegian debt and interest on debt will be automatically limited in the tax calculation.

When the country is not on the list

If the country is not shown on the list, it means that you’ll be taxed in Norway for any income/wealth you have abroad. You must declare everything in your tax return. If you’ve paid tax on the income and/or wealth abroad, you may be entitled to a credit deduction. Deductions for Norwegian debt and interest on debt will not be limited in the tax calculation.
