- Norway has amended its VAT Act to change tax rules for cross-border provision of remotely deliverable services within Multi-Location Entities (MLEs).
- The new rules take effect on July 1, 2026.
- Previously, MLEs could avoid Norwegian VAT on services used in Norway but purchased by a foreign establishment.
- The amendments align Norway’s VAT rules with the OECD destination-based principle, making such services taxable in Norway under the reverse charge regime if used by a Norwegian establishment.
- This change aims to create equal tax treatment between MLEs and domestic businesses for remotely deliverable services.
