Tax return for advance tax assessment - foreign workers
Here you'll find information on what to do if you want to request an advance tax assessment.
If you’re a foreign worker who is not a tax resident in Norway, you can request an advance tax assessment so we can process your tax return before your work stay in Norway is over.
You can use this tax return for salary income only. If you’ve had any other type of income, you must use the ordinary tax return.
Spesific information if you
are a foreign worker with a temporary work-related stay in Norway, who is not tax resident in Norway, who has a limited tax liability for salary for work carried out in Norway, and who is submitting the tax return on paper.

If you’re part of the PAYE scheme for foreign workers and you choose to submit this tax return, you’ll be removed from the PAYE scheme. You will then pay tax according to the ordinary tax rules.
You cannot go back to the PAYE scheme in this income year. This applies regardless of the reason you opt out of the scheme – even if you do so by mistake. At the turn of the year, you can choose to re-join the scheme.
