If you have a family in your home country and you have been working for
a Norwegian employer, you will receive a tax return from the local tax office. Persons having their family abroad are commuters (norw. pendler) and are entitled to deductions concerning the costs incurred for travels, accommodation and food in Norway.
Below you will find information regarding the documentation required for the settlement under this scheme.

Please find below a list of documents required to prepare tax settlement:

  • Tax return (Skattemelding) for 2023 - the document will be issued from 07 March 2024.
