Generating the Norway Standard Audit File for Tax (SAF-T) Financial

To generate the Norway SAF-T Financial, your role must be assigned Country Tax Reports permission. For more information, see Roles and Permissions in Tax Reporting Framework.

If you have the Full Multi-Book Accounting feature enabled, you can generate the Norway SAF-T XML file in a generic book or specific journal book, aligned with the reports specifications. Adjustment-Only Books feature is not supported.

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.

Important:

Before generating, make sure that the required fields are provisioned. For more information, see Required Fields.

To generate the Norway SAF-T:

1. Go to Reports > Tax > Country Tax Reports.

2. In the Subsidiary field, select a subsidiary from the list.

3. In the Nexus field, select Norway.

4. In the Report Name field, select Norway SAF-T Financial (XML).

5. In the Start Date field, select a starting period for the report.

6. In the End Date field, select end period for the report.

7. If you have the Full Multi-Book Accounting feature enabled, you can select the Accounting book in the Accounting Book field.

8. If you want to display additional configuration options for the SAF-T report, click the Setup Norway SAF-T button. The following options are available:

   • Allow displaying employees as suppliers – If you want to display or hide your employee data in the report, select either Yes or No from this dropdown menu, and click Save. Usually, the SAF-T report sources the SupplierID tag from the Vendor record. However, some transaction types applied to A/P accounts and linked to an employee (like Expense Reports or Journal Entries) are being sourced from the Employee record instead. Use this dropdown to either make such employee data available in the SAF-T report or to keep them hidden.

     Note:

     The report only shows basic data for employees displayed as suppliers. The Address section is printed but remains empty.

   • Account mapping type – Use this dropdown menu to set the mapping type for the whole SAF-T report (the information displayed in the Master Files > General Ledger Accounts section). This setting overrides any account–specific data. If you select the 2–digit Financial Standard Accounts or 4–digit Financial Standard Accounts, the StandardAccountID will be used (while the GroupingCategory and the GroupingCode will not be displayed). If you select the RF-1167 Income Statement, RF-1175 Income Statement, or RF-1323 Income Statement, the report will use the GroupingCategory and the GroupingCode (while the StandardAccountID will not be displayed). For more information about mapping categories for the Norway SAF-T financial report, see Chart of Accounts Mapping to Norway Standard Accounts.

     Note:

     If the mapping set in this dropdown list is missing in the account, NA will be printed instead.

9. Click Generate.

10. (Optional) You can see the status of the process in the Report Execution Log subtab.

11. (Optional) When NetSuite completes the report, you receive an email notification.

12. (Optional) Click Download in the subtab to download the XML file.

Income Statement Close

In NetSuite accounts with the Period End Journal Entries feature enabled, the Norway Tax Reports SuiteApp supports the income statement close. There are two possible ways to achieve it. Go to Setup > Tax Reporting > Country Tax Report Preferences, select the Norway nexus, and click the Tax Audit Files Data Filters subgroup.

• If you check the box in the Income Statement Closing Entries column, the period end journals will be included in the opening balances calculations and the general ledger entries.

• If you leave the box unchecked, the dynamic close method will be used instead. Opening balances of Profit and Loss accounts at the beginning of every accounting year will be moved to the Retained earnings account.

To learn more about the period end journals, see Period End Journal Entries.

Journal Transactions Time-Out Issue in Norway SAF-T

Norway SAF-T is prone to fail if it includes journal transactions with tax codes mapped as for both sales and purchases. If the Norway SAF-T report fails to generate, follow this procedure to identify and fix the issue.

Fixing report error caused by journal transactions set as for both

1. Go to Customization > Scripting > Scheduled Script Status.

2. Find the failed report script in the list and view it by clicking the script ID in Deployment ID column.

3. Click on Execution Log.

4. If the error type is STR_TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED, you will know that the report failed because it timed out.

5. Go to Setup > Accounting > Manage Accounting Periods.

6. In the Base Period window, check the Allow Non-G/L Changes box for every closed period that doesn’t already have it checked, all the way until the current period and click Save.

7. Go to Customization > Scripting > Script Deployments.

8. From the list, select Norway edit journals for VAT by clicking Edit.

9. On the Parameters subtab, enter the reporting period start date in startdate parameter.

10. To run the script, hover over the Save button and select Save and Execute from the dropdown list.

11. Wait for the script to finish. This can take a few minutes.

12. Generate the Norway VAT Return report again.

Report Structure

The Norway SAF-T report includes three main sections: Header, Master Files and General Ledger Entries.

The Header section of the report includes the general information about the company and the audit file, name and version of the software product, and selection criteria.

The Master Files section presents information about the general ledger account, suppliers, customer specifications and tax table information.

The General Ledger Entries present information about accounting transactions: journal entries and details of the posting transactions.

Note:

Non-posting and statistical account type accounts are not exported and used in the report. Also, they are not be validated for missing account numbers (which means that you don’t need to map these accounts to successfully generate the SAF-T report). For more information about these account types, see Non-Posting Account Registers and Using Statistical Accounts.
