Understanding Norwegian MVA (VAT)
Norway uses three VAT (MVA — merverdiavgift) rates depending on what's being sold. The standard 25% rate applies to most goods and services. A reduced 15% rate covers food and non-alcoholic drinks bought in shops (restaurant meals are taxed at the standard rate). A 12% rate applies to passenger transport, cinema and event tickets, and hotel accommodation.
Businesses with annual turnover above the VAT registration threshold must register with the Norwegian Tax Administration, charge VAT on their sales, and file regular MVA-meldinger (VAT returns). VAT collected from customers is offset against VAT paid on business purchases — you remit only the difference.
"Adding VAT" takes a net (pre-tax) price and calculates the gross (VAT-inclusive) price a customer pays. "Removing VAT" does the reverse — useful when you have a receipt or invoice total and need to know how much of it was tax, for bookkeeping or expense claims.
