Payroll in Norway: Your Essential Questions Answered:-
Are you planning to run payroll for your employees in Norway? This is the crucial first step in establishing your business presence here. Your approach will largely depend on your company’s structure and any applicable tax treaties between Norway and your home country. We’re here to guide you through the complexities and ensure you’re on the right path.

Registering Employees
If you plan to employ foreign workers in Norway, they must be registered locally. Additionally, employers in Norway must obtain an HSE/(HMS)-card for employees working in specific sectors, including construction, building maintenance, installation, cleaning, and car care services. This card serves to identify the employee and their company, confirming registration in essential public records. To apply for this card:

  • Your company must have a Norwegian organization number.
  • Employees need to be registered in Norway.
  • Your company must also be VAT-registered in Norway.

What We Offer

From the moment you launch your business in Norway, we can handle all aspects of HR and payroll administration. Our services include:

  • Employer Entity Setup: Establishing the necessary legal framework for your operations.
  • Employee Onboarding: Managing work agreements and registrations for new hires.
  • Payroll Calculation: Accurate processing of payroll and distribution of payslips.
  • Holiday Pay Calculation: Ensuring compliance with holiday entitlements.
  • Sick Leave Refunds: Streamlining the management of sick leave benefits.
  • Travel and Expense Reports: Efficient handling of employee reimbursements.
  • Pension Administration: Managing pension contributions and obligations.
  • Monthly Reporting: Timely reporting and payment of taxes to authorities.
  • Year-End Procedures: Comprehensive year-end processing.
  • Tax Return Submission: Preparing and submitting your tax returns on your behalf.
    • Personal Tax Returns for Employees

      If you are sending employees to Norway for short assignments, this may trigger personal tax return obligations. Failing to submit a return can lead to inaccurate tax calculations, which is why early identification of these obligations is crucial.

      Navigating the tax landscape in Norway is essential when you employ staff here. Employers contribute 14.1% of gross salaries towards social security, while personal income tax starts at 22% and increases with higher income levels. If you provide us with an example of a gross salary, we can offer a detailed breakdown of total payroll costs in Norway.
