time working in norway

[midgemcm]

Hi
We have started to work some teams in Norway on temporary contracts. We are aware that there is a limit of the number of days that a foreign worker can work in Norway (183 days) before they would be required to pay tax in Norway rather than the UK. However, we have also been told that there is a three year rule which limits time spent working in norway to 270 days or so. Is anyone aware of this rule? If it is in place does anyone know if dispensations can be applied for to allow employees to work for more than that limit?

thanks folks

Here is the answer after 1 mins google search

Persons staying for one or several periods in Norway for more than 183 days during a 12-month period will be considered as tax resident in Norway. The same applies to persons staying in Norway for one or several periods for more than 270 days in the course of a 36-month period. Every whole or part of a calendar day of stay in Norway is included when calculating the number of days.

thanks for your reply. Yes - I should have done some more routing around first.
