Everyone who works in Norway receices a tax return at the end og the March/beginning of April in the year following the income year. If you do not receive a tax return, you must contact the tax office. It is important that the tax office knows which address to send your tax return to. The tax return is pre-completed with information received from your employer, among others. You must check that the information is the same as that contained in the Certificate of Pay and Tax Deducted that you receive from your employer in January. You must correct any errors in your tax return and submit it to your local tax office.
Please note that you may be entitled to deductions from your income, e.g. the standard deduction for foreign employees or a deduction for expenses relating to living away from your home abroad (commuter deduction). You must claim these deductions yourself by entering them in your tax return.
It is important that you provide correct information in your tax return. If you fail to declare income or capital (for example a house, car, boat, cash etc.), your tax can be increased (additional tax).
