Everything you need to know about VAT obligations when
trading with EU countries from Norway
Exporting to the EU - With or Without VAT?
Exports of goods from Norway to EU countries are generally exempt from Norwegian VAT (zero-rated). Services follow separate rules depending on the type of service and where the buyer is established. Proper documentation is essential — incorrect invoicing can result in retroactive VAT charges. We make sure your invoices are correctly formatted for each transaction type.
What is Reverse Charge?
Reverse charge means the buyer, not the seller, is responsible for calculating and reporting VAT to their local tax authority. This applies to most B2B service transactions between companies in different EU/EEA countries. For Norwegian companies selling services to EU businesses, it means you invoice without VAT but must include the buyer’s VAT number and a reference to reverse charge on the invoice.
When do you need a VAT Number in the EU?
If your Norwegian company has taxable turnover in an EU country — for example through selling goods from a warehouse in the EU, providing installation services, or e-commerce above certain thresholds — you may be required to register for VAT in that country. The rules vary between EU member states. We assess your situation and handle the registration process through our local partners.
e-Commerce and Selling to EU Consumers
Norwegian online retailers selling goods directly to consumers in EU countries face specific VAT rules. Depending on volume and product type, you may need to register for VAT in the destination country or use the EU’s One-Stop Shop (OSS) system for simplified reporting.
We help you find the most efficient solution and ensure you meet all requirements.
What is a VAT Representative in the EU?
A VAT representative is a local entity in an EU country that acts on behalf of your company in VAT matters. Some EU countries require non-EU businesses to appoint a representative in order to register for VAT. Through our network of partners across Europe, we can provide VAT representation in most EU member states, giving you a single point of contact regardless of how many countries you operate in.
