The money you have credited can come into your account in a few weeks – or in May and June, which applies to most of us.
– If you and your spouse submit the new tax return on Skatteetaten.no, you can receive the tax settlement with money in your account within a couple of weeks after you have submitted it, says tax director Nina Schanke Funnemark.
Many people experience mistakes
This delays the payout
Those who deliver the tax return automatically and not goes to the website and sends it himself, however, has to wait until June to get the tax money, while those who deliver on paper, get the tax settlement only in August.
Another exception for receiving the tax money you receive within a short time is if you are taken out of control by the Tax Administration.
The preliminary tax calculation shows that three out of four employees and pensioners are likely to receive a tax refund. A total of 2.7 million inhabitants will receive more than NOK 32 billion back from the tax settlement for 2020.
This gives not tax deduction
Therefore, you get residual tax
At the same time, there are also many who owe taxes – as much as one million must be prepared for residual tax. They owe NOK 24 billion that must be paid to the Tax Administration.
One reason why some people receive residual tax may be that they did not travel to work last year due to the pandemic. Therefore, this time there is also no completed deduction for travel between work and home in the tax return.
– If you have traveled to work for all or part of 2020 exactly as you usually do, you must fill in information about this in the tax return, says the tax director.
Some also received lower interest rates on their loans last year. This leads to smaller tax deductions.
