Submitting Norway VAT Return

With Tax Reporting Framework, you can submit the Norway VAT Return directly to Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten). You can also attach local XML files to the report to provide additional information.

Important:

Norway VAT Return is available in accounts with SuiteTax as well as accounts without SuiteTax. For a detailed list of supported features in accounts with SuiteTax and without SuiteTax, see here.

Note:

A report can be successfully validated and submitted only once. After a successful validation or submission, the Validate or Submit to Skatteetaten button will become unavailable. If you want to re-validate or re-submit a report, you must re-generate the report.

Validating and submitting a generated VAT Return:

1. Generate the Norway VAT Return in the Country Tax Report page. For more information, see Generating Norway VAT Return.

2. View the report on the Report Execution Log and review the details. For more information about viewing a country tax report, see Viewing a Generated Country Tax Report.

3. Add an attachment by clicking Upload file. Select the XML file, and click Open to attach it to the report.

   Note:

   A maximum of ten XML files can be uploaded to a report. The maximum allowed size of an attachment is 10MB.

4. Before the report can be submitted, its data contents need to be validated by Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten). Click Validate.

5. On the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten) website, use your credentials to log in. If you were not redirected to the Skatteetaten website after clicking Validate, check your browser settings and ensure that pop-ups coming from NetSuite are not blocked.

6. When the validation finishes successfully, click the button Submit to Skatteetaten.

   Note:

   The Submit to Skatteetaten button is enabled only after a successful validation.

7. On the popup window, read the submission declaration message. When ready, check the confirmation box and click Submit. Otherwise, click Cancel.

8. When the submission finishes successfully, click the link in the banner message to view the submission receipt.

9. (Optional) If you didn't receive a confirmation, click the Request Confirmation button to query the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten).

   Note:

   The Request Confirmation button is visible only after a submission without a final confirmation.
