VAT representation in Norway: do it yourself or outsource it?

You would like to do business in Norway. Or you are already doing business in Norway. Just as in most countries in the world,  in Norway you also have to charge  tax on the turnover you realize. In addition, you must file VAT declaration correctly. And pay the VAT due on time. Even more, do you know whether you need a VAT representation?

VAT respresentation

If you, as a foreign entrepreneur, are liable to VAT and do not have your own permanent branch in Norway, you must appoint a VAT representative in Norway in accordance with Norwegian law. In Norway this is known as MVA-representative of merverdiavgiftsrepresentant. However, since 1 April 2017 this is no longer mandatory for 28 countries.  In that matter,  you can file the Norwegian VAT declaration yourself.
