Tax return

Every year in early April, tax-liable wage earners receive online access to a pre-entered tax return form for the previous income year. The form must be checked, if necessary corrected, and submitted by 30 April.

1. Access online

To access your tax return online you need an electronic ID. The most common electronic ID is BankID. If you do not have the BankID, you can order the MinID which will enable you to log in at MyPage at the Tax Office (skatteetaten.no).  

2. Check and correct

Follow the Tax Administation's guidelines on how to view, edit and submit your tax return (skatteetaten.no). Check that the pre-entered information is correct. Use the deduction wizard (skatteetaten.no) to see which deductions you may be entitled to claim.

3. Submit

The deadline to submit your tax return is 30 April. Tax returns that are not submitted by 30 April will be considered as having been submitted with the pre-completed information as stated when the deadline expired.

4. Tax assessment and appeal

When your tax assessment is ready, you will be notified by e-mail/sms. The notice will inform you whether you have to pay more tax or are entitled to a refund. More about tax assessment and ways to appeal (skatteetaten.no).

    Advance assessment

    If you fulfil certain requirements, you may request an advance assessment and pay tax upon termination of your work-related stay in Norway (skatteetaten.no).
