Configuring Norway VAT Return

Before you will be able to generate the Norway VAT Return report, you have to specify 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.

Important:

For the following procedure to work, make sure you have the right permissions to access the File Cabinet. For more information, see Permissions and File Cabinet Files.

To configure the report:

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

2. In the Subsidiary field, select a Norwegian subsidiary.

3. In the Report Name field, select Norway VAT Return.

4. Click the Norway VAT Setup button.

5. If not pre-filled automatically (see Report Header) Enter your Norwegian Taxpayer ID number in the TaxPayer ID field.

6. If you are expecting a tax refund, enter the KID number in the KID field.

Configuring the Reporting Frequency

For the VAT Return report to be calculated correctly and in accordance with Norwegian Tax Administration’s requirements, you must configure the reporting frequency. Of reporting frequencies currently allowed by the Norwegian Tax Administration, the following are currently supported by Netsuite:

Norwegian	English	Length	XML	Accepted Values in XML file
Periode Maaned	Monthly	1 month	skattleggingsperiodeMaaned	januar februar mars april mai juni juli august september oktober november desember
Periode To Maaneder	Bimonthly	2 months	skattleggingsperiodeToMaaneder	januar-februar mars-april mai-juni juli-august september-oktober november-desember

Periode Seks Maaneder	Biannually	6 months	skattleggingsperiodeSeksMaaneder	januar-juni juli-desember
Periode Aar	Annually	12 months	skattleggingsperiodeAar	aarlig

Important:

You can generate the report for any reporting period you want, but the Norwegian Tax Administration will only accept VAT return reports respecting the above reporting frequencies. If the reporting frequency does not overlap with the reporting period, the report will generate with a warning.

To configure the reporting frequency:

1. Go to Setup > Tax Reporting > Country Tax Reports Preferences.

2. In the Subsidiary field, select a Norwegian subsidiary. The Period Filters subtab will appear.

3. In the Start of Tax Year, select the start of your tax year..

   Important:

   The first report submitted to the authority must include transactions from the first month of the tax year.

4. In the Norway VAT Return row, set the Reporting Frequency to one of your preference. (see table in Configuring the Reporting Frequency).

5. Click Save.

If you configured the reporting frequency correctly, the End Period field will be automatically filled after you fill the Start Period field when generating the report.

Tax Reporting Category

You can add further detail to your tax reporting scenarios by attaching a Specification value to a transaction line. Specification contains four unique values and is contained within the Tax Reporting Category line level field. Values are available for selection on all taxable transaction types.

Be sure to correctly assign the Specification value against General Ledger posting transactions. No defaulting from other sources or validation applies.

You will be able to choose one of the following values:

• Tilbakeføring Inngående mva / Refund of input VAT

• Tap på krav / Bad debts

• Uttak / Withdrawals

• Justering / Adjustments

Tax Notes

You are encouraged to further define your tax scenario by applying a Note for a taxable transaction line. Similarly to the Specification, it is yet another level of detail, allowing the Norwegian Tax Administration to better understand the reported data.
