Norway’s Ambassador to the EU, Anders H. Eide, signed a renegotiated agreement with the EU on administrative cooperation in VAT on 2 October 2024. The agreement aims to combat international VAT fraud. The full announcement was published on 21 March 2025.
The agreement took effect on 1 September 2018 and ensures information exchange, control cooperation, and assistance in collecting VAT claims.
Following the conclusion of the agreement, the EU has further developed its cooperation to combat VAT fraud more effectively. The signed amending agreement means that Norwegian tax authorities can participate in several new forms of collaboration.
A proposal will be presented to Norway’s parliament (Storting) for consent to enter into force.
