Hi David, very useful article thank you. All salaries in the UK are also quoted pre-tax so makes perfect sense,

We are looking to move over in the next 6 months, we are looking at the visa application and I am getting a Norwegian contract through shortly.

We want to live in Tromso!

Well done on this article David. I’ve lived in Norway since 2003 and I have always been frustrated by the Norwegian tax system. You have cleared up many points for me, so thanks for that.

In reply to jamesW. Salaries are almost universally quoted before tax, because tax depends on someone’s personal circumstances which can be wildly different. I’m honestly not sure how anyone, even the most screwed-up conspiracy theorist, would think that is some kind of scam.

In reply to Adrian Davis. That is part of the scam in this article! HIDE the Facts with a link! Imagine your specialty of employment is outdoors? Such as Construction! Guess you work 8 months as a bagger in your local grocery store than 4 months banging nails!

In reply to Adrian Davis. That’s why we link to the article about income tax. It’s impossible to generalise as tax is based on many different personal circumstances.

So there is a part of this article missing which is the how much after tax. While that may vary significantly according to circumstances there are surely some national statistics?
