Invoicing in Norway — What Businesses Typically Include
The information below is a general overview of common invoicing practice in Norway. It is not legal or tax advice — consult an accountant or refer to Skatteetaten at skatteetaten.no.
MVA (VAT) in Norway
Norway's standard MVA (merverdiavgift) rate is 25%. A reduced rate of 15% applies to food and drink. A further reduced rate of 12% applies to public transport, cinema, and certain cultural services. Businesses with annual turnover above NOK 50,000 from taxable activities must register for MVA with Skatteetaten. Norway is not an EU member but is part of the EEA, which affects cross-border VAT treatment differently from EU countries.
Organisasjonsnummer and MVA Registration
Norwegian businesses register with the Bronnoysundregistrene (Bronnoysund Register Centre) and receive an organisasjonsnummer (organisation number). MVA-registered businesses add 'MVA' after their organisation number on invoices — for example, 923 456 789 MVA. This combined number serves as your VAT identification in Norway. All Norwegian businesses must also register in the Enhetsregisteret (Register of Business Enterprises).
What a Norwegian Invoice (Faktura) Must Include
Norwegian bookkeeping law (bokforingsloven) requires that invoices include: your business name, address, and organisasjonsnummer with MVA suffix, the customer's name and address, a unique invoice number, the invoice date and delivery date, a description of goods or services, the net amount, the MVA rate and amount, and the total including MVA. Norway has strict bookkeeping requirements — invoices must be retained for a minimum of 5 years.
Freelancing in Norway
Norway has a growing freelance community, particularly in technology, oil and gas consulting, maritime, and creative industries. Norwegian freelancers typically operate as an enkeltpersonforetak (sole proprietorship). Norway's high GDP per capita and strong digital infrastructure mean that many Norwegian freelancers serve both domestic and international clients. BooInvoice supports NOK alongside EUR, USD, GBP, and other currencies for international invoicing.
