Hi all,
I apologize in advance if this topic has already been seriously exhausted, however I am under a bit of a time crunch..
First off, I am Canadian. I have been granted my family immigration permit since 17.11.2011. However I did not begin working until Feb.2012.
I was wondering about the 10% tax deduction for the first 2 years in Norway.
I did receive it for my 2012 tax return, but am now being told I cannot claim this deduction for 2013 tax period, as I lived in Norway in 2011. Therefore this deduction only applied to tax year 2011 and 2012.
BUT, I wonder how this is possible, as I did not work in 2011 (aka:did not earn or pay taxes).
I was certain the 10% deduction was for the first 2 years of employment in Norway.. OR atleast the first 24 months lliving here (from the date of receiving my reseidence permit).
Does anyone have a similar story or advice?
Thanks in advance.
