skatteoppgaver

Skatteoppgaver are the tax assessment notices issued by the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten) following the processing of a taxpayer's return. The plural form is used when referring to the documents as a category. They are part of the annual skatteoppgjøret, the reconciliation of a person’s tax liability for the previous income year.

Contents typically include reported taxable income, withheld tax, allowable deductions and credits, and the resulting final tax liability or refund. The notice consolidates information from employment income, capital income, and other sources, and may reflect adjustments made by Skatteetaten during review or correction of data supplied by the taxpayer or third parties such as employers or banks.

Access to skatteoppgaver is digital, via the Skatteetaten portal or Altinn. Taxpayers can review the figures, verify that the deductions are correct, and, if necessary, request corrections or file an appeal within the deadlines set by law.

Significance: The skatteoppgaver provide a formal record of the year’s tax calculation, influence budgeting, and determine any balancing payment or refund. They are a central element of Norway’s self-assessment tax system and are used by individuals and businesses for documentation and financial planning.
