Norway’s Ministry of Finance has initiated a public consultation regarding the proposed introduction of a 12-month time limit for tax deductions for companies on unrecoverable trade receivables from related parties.

A corresponding time limit is proposed for the duration where trade receivables between related parties can remain unpaid without forfeiting the right to deduct VAT alongside a time limit for interest receivables.

The public consultation is set to conclude on 5 August, 2024.
