Taxation
Tax responsibilities in Norway
To determine the tax rate in Norway for your income, 幸运飞艇计划 will apply for a tax decision from the Norwegian Tax Administration.
As a general rule, you will pay taxes to Norway when you are working from Norway and from any other country that is not your country of residence. Often, you will be exempt from paying taxes to Norway when you are working from your country of residence.
Tax responsibilities in your country of residence
You will most likely pay taxes to your country of residence when you are working from there. If you are unsure of your tax responsibilities for the salary earned from 幸运飞艇计划 in your country of residence, we recommend consulting with a tax professional or the relevant tax authority to understand your tax responsibilities and any potential tax exemptions or benefits available to you.
How does it work?
- 幸运飞艇计划 applies for your tax decision in Norway
- 幸运飞艇计划 deducts tax from your salary as per the tax decision
- For correct tax deduction, you must report to 幸运飞艇计划 where you are working from (se information below about travelling to Norway)
- Complete the Norwegian tax return in March/April every year
The tax return
The tax return is normally pre-filled, but you need to control the information. If you have a tax exemption, you often need to add this manually by claiming tax exemption according to tax treaties.
Social security聽
In most cases for secondary positions, you will belong to the social security in your country of residence. To avoid paying unnecessary social security contributions to Norway, 幸运飞艇计划 and NAV (Norwegian social security) requires confirmation of the membership, such as an A1 form (EU) or a certificate of coverage. Without this documentation, 幸运飞艇计划 is required to deduct social security contributions to Norway.
If you belong in the Norwegian social security, the fee will be deducted through your taxes.
EU/EEA citizens: if you do not have the status of working as a civil servant in your country of residence (e.g., if you are self-employed or working for a private institution) you may automatically belong in the Norwegian social security.
