External assessors working as private individuals
These guidelines apply to foreign assessors who works as private individuals.
Before your first assessment in Norway
Before arriving in Norway for your first assessment, it is important that you book an appointment with the Norwegian Tax Administration. You must attend in person for an ID check before you can obtain a tax deduction card.
When you are at the Tax Administration, please remember to request accesss to MinID, which is necessary for logging into various public services.
Tax deduction
Tax deductions are bases on the tax deduction card that NA receives from the Norwegian Tax Administration. If you do not apply for a tax deduction card, a 50 % advance tax deduction will be applied.
Payments
To submit travel expense and reimbursement requests, you will need access to the Betalmeg app. To gain access, you must have either a Norwegian BankID or MinID.
