What are the advantages of investing in the Norwegian real estate sector?
Norway offers a set of competitive advantages when investing in the real estate sector. Foreign investors can benefit from a simpler transaction procedure and in this sense, it is important to know that such transactions are completed faster compared to other European countries. Foreign investors who want to open a company in Norway in the real estate sector may operate various transactions through the local banks. If the investors consider investing through a Norwegian bank, the institution will require specific company documents, such as the company’s business plan and others and such papers can be processed in only three weeks. Our team of consultants in company formation in Norway can assist with in-depth advice on this matter.

- • withholding tax on dividends – the standard tax rate in this case is applicable at the rate of 25%, but investors can be fully exempted if they qualify under one of the double taxation treaties signed by Norway;
