An exemption card is a tax deduction card that shows that your employer does not need to deduct tax if you earn NOK 70,000 or less.

We'll notify you when your tax exemption card is ready to use.

If you earn more than NOK 70,000

If you expect to earn more than the tax exemption card cap, you must order a tax deduction card. If you’ve had an exemption card and earned money without tax being deducted, the amount you’ve already earned must be included in the basis for calculating your new tax deduction card. Whether or not you’ve had an exemption card, your total tax will be the same.
