- Norway’s Finance Ministry proposes VAT changes for postal transport to make the rules more neutral and align them with the general VAT exemption for international goods transport.
- Currently, most transport to/from outside the VAT area is exempt, but Posten Norge has a special rule: individual letters sent abroad are taxable unless part of bulk mailings.
- The proposal would exempt individual postal items sent abroad if the recipient is documented as outside Norway.
- For Posten Norge, only letters stamped “Norway” or “Noreg” would remain taxable; bulk mailings would still be exempt.
- The consultation ends July 29, 2026, with the new rules planned to start January 1, 2027.
