From 13 March to 4 April 2025, all individuals earning income in Norway will begin receiving their Tax Assessment (SKATTEMELDING). The Norwegian Tax Administration (SKATTEETATEN) is distributing these on a randomly assigned schedule, so some people may receive them earlier than others during this period.
If you are a Norwegian citizen or resident, you are now able to file your Tax Return 2024. As in previous years, the submission Deadline — whether online or in paper form — is 30 April 2025.
What’s New for the 2024 Tax Year in Norway?
There have been several important updates to the Income Tax System in 2024, introduced to prevent inflation-driven income increases from leading to higher tax burdens.

Don’t Forget: You Are Responsible for Filing
The Norwegian Tax Agency reminds everyone that filing your tax return is your personal responsibility. Late submissions or failing to file may result in financial penalties or tax surcharges.
