Avoid errors in your tax return. Check your annual statements.

When you receive your annual statements, you should take the time to check that all the information is correct. If you discover any errors, you should contact the organisation that sent you the annual statement, so that they can correct the information and send the Norwegian Tax Administration a revised annual statement/summary. This will help to avoid errors in your tax return.

Note that many statement providers now only send you a notification that you must log on to their website in order to read the annual statement.

You recieve a summary in January

In January, you should have received a summary of your income and withholding tax deductions from your employer and others who paid you salary or pension last year. You should also have received annual statements from banks, insurance companies, preschools, etc.

These annual statements are sent to the Norwegian Tax Administration, so that the information is included in the pre-completed tax return.

If you discover errors

Contact the organisations concerned if you discover any errors. Only the organisations that submitted the information can correct it. Changes will be included in the tax return if the Norwegian Tax Administration receives them by 1 March.

When you get an e-mail or sms saying that your tax return is available, you can view, edit and submit the tax return
