Main provisions regarding corporate tax in Norway
If you open a company in Norway, as a resident you will be subject to the corporate tax on your worldwide income. The non-resident companies are also subject to the corporate tax in Norway, but only if the business that they are involved in is managed from this country. The payment of the corporation tax is due to the Norwegian government.
There are also exceptions for income coming from particular type of activities. There are also several investment sectors such as petroleum industry or hydro power to which special tax regimes are applied.

More aspects regarding the corporate tax in Norway
The corporate tax in Norway is calculated by reference to the net profit of a company, which can be obtained by subtracting the expenditure costs from the income of a business. The foreign investors in Norway paying corporate tax in this country might enter the provisions of double taxation treaties between Norway and their country of residence. This might give them the possibility to deduce part of the taxes payed in Norway through applying for credits in their country of residence.
The corporation tax is calculated annually and contributes to the budget of the country which in return provides a safe climate and optimal conditions for the development of enterprises in several business areas. The fact that the rate continues to drop is encouraging for worldwide investors in Norway.
