Setting Up Norway Tax Reports SuiteApp in Accounts without SuiteTax

Norway Tax Reports features will only become available after the following conditions have been met:

1. All required features were enabled. For more information, see Required Features for Accounts without SuiteTax.

2. All required SuiteApps were installed. For more information, see Required SuiteApps.

3. All required fields were populated. For more information, see Required Fields.

Required Features for Accounts without SuiteTax

Before installing Norway Tax Reports SuiteApp, you must enable all required features.

To enable required features:

1. Go to Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features (Administrator).

2. Go to the Company subtab.

   1. On the International subtab, check the Multiple Currencies box.

      Note:

      Multiple Currencies feature is required if your Norway nexus is on a subsidiary with base currency other than NOK. In that case, the Norway SAF-T report will primarily be denominated in that subsidiary's base currency, not in NOK, as required by Skattetaten.

3. (Optional) Go to the Accounting subtab.

   1. On the Basic Features subtab, check the GL Audit Numbering box.

   2. If you have the Full Multi-Book Accounting feature enabled, check the Full Multi-Book Accounting box on the Multi-Book Accounting subtab to enable it. (Contact your NetSuite account manager to find out how to get the Full Multi-Book Accounting feature.)

4. Click Save.

5. Go to Setup > Accounting > Accounting Preferences.

6. Go to the General subtab.

   1. On the General Ledger subtab, check the Use Account Numbers box.

7. Click Save.

Important:

In case you've installed Norway Tax Reports before the release of version 1.10.0, you must reinstall Saved Searches to make sure Norway VAT Return report can be successfully generated:

1. Go to Setup > Tax Reporting > Features/Components Register

2. In the Norway Tax Reports area, click Reinstall on the Saved Searches line.

Required SuiteApps

Thanks to the Localization Assistant SuiteApp, you can streamline the installation of Norway Tax Reports and its required SuiteApps.

Localization Assistant SuiteApp will help you identify and install SuiteApps required in a specific Location. For more information about Localization Assistant SuiteApp, see Localization Assistant SuiteApp.

The list of required SuiteApps differs between accounts with SuiteTax and accounts without SuiteTax.

Required SuiteApps (Accounts without SuiteTax)

Installation Order	SuiteApp	ID	Installation Procedure
1	Localization Assistant		For more information, see Installing the Localization Assistant SuiteApp.
2	International Tax Reports	43003	For more information, see Installing and Setting Up International Tax Reports.
3	Tax Audit Files	47492	For more information, see Installing the Tax Audit Files SuiteApp.
4	International Tax Reports	3776651	For more information, see Installing and Setting Up International Tax Reports.
5	Tax Reporting Framework	237699	For more information, see Installing Tax Reporting Framework. Note: For a potential related authorization error that can occur when validating, submitting, or adding attachments to the Norway VAT return report, see Norway VAT Return Authorization Error.
6	EMEA Localization	303903	For more information, see Installing the EMEA Localization SuiteApp. Important: This SuiteApp provides the framework for local VAT reports in SuiteTax and other EMEA-specific features. After EMEA Localization is installed, make sure the Company Registration Number in the appropriate subsidiary record is provided.

Important:

Advanced Localization Features (ALF) is an optional, recommended SuiteApp for providing bank-account information in the Norway SAF-T Financial report. Alternatively, the required bank-account information can be provided by the Norway Localization SuiteApp. If neither SuiteApp provides this information, the affected bank-account fields in the report may contain NA, which may cause the generated SAF-T file to be considered invalid.

When a usable bank-account identifier is available through ALF and the SuiteTax reporting framework, the report can include bank-account information in its Header section. If no usable identifier is available, report generation succeeds and the optional BankAccount XML element is omitted.

If you want to generate only the Norway VAT Return in a SuiteTax account, you do not need to install SAF-T Reporting Framework or Universal Mapping Assistant, and you do not need to configure mappings in Universal Mapping Assistant.

Required Fields

After the required SuiteApps were installed, the following fields must be provisioned for the Norway Tax Reports. Make sure they're available in your NetSuite account. SAF-T and Norway VAT return reports each require different fields to be provisioned.

Important:

If the fields aren't filled out correctly, the report generation for the reports will be unsuccessful.
