The Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten) is the Norwegian government agency responsible for assessing and collecting taxes, administering VAT, and ensuring that individuals and businesses meet their tax obligations. It also manages the National Registry, which records key information about residents in Norway. The agency processes tax returns, issues tax assessments, and works to ensure compliance across both personal and corporate taxpayers. As a central government body, its work underpins the funding of Norway’s public services and welfare system. Skatteetaten has in recent years invested significantly in digitalisation, making Norway one of the more advanced countries in terms of automated and pre-filled tax reporting, reducing the administrative burden on taxpayers while improving accuracy and compliance. It employs professionals across a range of disciplines including law, economics, IT and data analysis.
