Understanding VOEC: Simplified VAT for Foreign E-Commerce to Norway

  • VOEC is a simplified VAT system for foreign businesses selling low-value goods to consumers in Norway.
  • VAT is charged at the point of sale, allowing goods to enter Norway without additional VAT at import.
  • Applicable only to foreign companies not VAT-registered in Norway, selling directly to Norwegian consumers.
  • Only for goods valued at 3,000 NOK or less per item, excluding shipping and insurance.
  • Benefits include no customs declaration, avoiding double VAT charges, no handling fees, and faster delivery.
  • To use VOEC, register on the Norwegian Tax Administration website and obtain a VOEC number.
  • Report and pay collected VAT quarterly through the VOEC portal.
