Norwegian corporate tax lawyer

We assist companies with their corporate tax obligations and tax compliance when doing business in Norway.
Foreign companies operating in Norway are subject to the same corporate tax rules as Norwegian businesses, including corporate income tax, employer's social security contributions, and VAT. Determining exactly how these rules apply to your company — and staying current as regulations change — can be difficult without local expertise, especially if your operations span multiple jurisdictions. 
Aider Legal helps companies establish, structure, and manage their Norwegian tax obligations correctly from the outset, so you avoid costly missteps and unnecessary exposure. From initial tax planning to ongoing compliance and correspondence with the Norwegian Tax Administration, we make sure your company meets its obligations while paying only what's required.
