VOEC registration

The VOEC (VAT On E-Commerce) scheme allows goods and services to be sold to Norway without complicated customs procedures if the goods are below a certain value.

From January 1, 2023, the scheme also applies to services such as legal and consulting services. It is important to keep the registrations up to date, as Norway performs continuous checks and failure to register can result in fines.

Remember to mark all shipments with the VOEC identification number.

NUF company

Et NUF-selskab giver mange fordele for virksomheder, der ønsker at etablere sig på det norske marked uden at oprette et AS, som kræver en mere økonomisk krævende og langt mere besværlig proces. Med et NUF-selskab kan du blandt andet bestille et norsk domæne, undgå regnskabspligt i forhold til skat, gennemføre en enkel proces i forbindelse med registrering af HMS-kort til medarbejdere, der skal til Norge for at arbejde, og ikke mindst en forenklet proces i forhold til Klarna-betalingsløsning og toldbehandling af varer, der skal til Norge.

Det, som også er vigtigt, er, at man ikke behøver at have en norsk postadresse. Man bruger den, der er knyttet til hovedvirksomheden i Danmark, som vil stå som ejer af NUF-selskabet.

Processen tager mellem 4-6 uger.

AS company

A Norwegian AS company is a good choice if your business needs a more extensive presence in Norway. AS companies are particularly suitable if you need a physical warehouse, an office or special export licenses. The choice between an NUF and an AS company depends largely on what activities your business will perform and what the market demands.

We can help you get an overview of the pros and cons of the different types of companies so you can make the best decision for your business.

Registration of NUF company

NUF requires no initial capital and allows you to operate in Norway through a foreign parent company, but the owner is personally liable through the parent company.

Learn about the process here:

  • Registration in the Register of Legal Entities

    Submit documentation of the parent company's existence, including the company's articles of association, incorporation documents and any financial statements. Once the registration is approved, an organization number is assigned.

  • Web domain registration

    Once you have a Norwegian organization number, you can register a .no domain through an authorized domain registrar. Make sure the domain name is adapted to the Norwegian market.

  • Ordering HSE cards (if applicable)

    If your company operates in industries such as construction or cleaning, HSE cards are required by law. Ordering requires the company to be registered in the Register of Legal Entities and as an employer (if there are employees). The cards are ordered online via the Labor Inspection's platform.

  • VOEC registration (if applicable)

    If your business sells goods or services via e-commerce, VOEC registration can simplify VAT reporting and eliminate complicated customs procedures for goods under 3,000 NOK.

  • VAT registration

    If the expected turnover exceeds NOK 50,000 annually, the company must be registered for VAT. This can be done in connection with registration in the Register of Legal Entities.

  • Commercial rent (if applicable)

    If your business needs physical space, we help you find a suitable location through our network of partners.

  • Create Norwegian bank account

    A Norwegian bank account makes it easier to handle payments and VAT settlement.

  • Employee registration (if applicable)

    If your business has employees, it must register as an employer and meet the requirements for payroll reporting, tax and employment taxes.

Registration of an AS company

Choose AS if you want limited liability and are planning larger activities. AS requires a minimum start-up capital of 30,000 NOK.

Learn about the process here:

  • Draft articles of association and founding documents

    Document the company's purpose, ownership and management structure. These documents are required in order to register the company.

  • Create Norwegian bank account

    Create a Norwegian bank account to be used to deposit the initial capital. The account also makes it easier to handle payments and VAT settlement.

  • Deposit of start-up capital

    Deposit a minimum of NOK 30,000 into the established Norwegian bank account. Alternatively, the capital contribution can be confirmed by an accountant.

  • Registration in the Register of Legal Entities

    Submit articles of association, foundation documents and proof of capital contribution. After registration, an organization number is assigned.

  • Web domain registration

    Once you receive an organization number, you can register a .no domain through an authorized domain registrar.

  • Ordering HSE cards (if applicable)

    If the company operates in industries such as construction or cleaning, HSE cards are required. These are ordered online via the Swedish Labor Inspection Authority when the company is registered in the Register of Legal Entities.

  • VAT registration (if applicable)

    With an expected turnover above 50,000 NOK annually, VAT registration is mandatory. This is typically done as part of the registration in the Register of Legal Entities.

  • Commercial rent (if applicable)

    If you need physical space, our partners will help you find a suitable location.

  • Employee registration (if applicable)

    If your business has employees, you need to register it as an employer to comply with Norwegian wage, tax and labor regulations.
