Applicants

PAYE taxes in Norway - be aware!!

Most foreign workers start working in Norway will automatically become part of a voluntary tax scheme called PAYE (Pay As You Earn) when they apply for a tax deduction card.

The short version of how this work

You pay 25% tax. You cannot claim any deductions.
Be aware that the income limit having this tax card is 6*base salary amount. The amount for 2022 is NOK 643.800.

If you are in a situation where  commuting cost is refunded by Techconsult, and/or your income will exceed the NOK 643.800,- you must ask to be taxed under general tax rules, not the PAYE.

You cannot be part of the PAYE scheme for income earned on the Norwegian continental shelf.

Am I a formal commuter?

By having the status of a formal commuter in accordance with the Norwegian Tax Agency’s rules, you will have the advantage of having a full or partial tax deduction for all costs you have in connection with working somewhere other than where you live. This applies to both Norwegian and foreign citizens. You can also then have such costs covered by your employer without it being taxed as a benefit.

The regulations are nevertheless quite complicated, and to see if you are in fact a commuter, we therefore recommend that you check out this website at the Tax Office:
