Thank you for your inputs here.

We are from the Philippines. My son and I are moving to Norway for family immigration because my husband holds a residence permit to work there. I am working remotely so I am planning to register as self-employed for tax purpose. Can I just ask, will I get the benefits of a permanent resident like free education for my son, and future child etc? I am torn to let go of my job as I already get used to be working with them, or just look for a job in Norway to get benefits.

Thanks,
Cris

Hi, yes as it says in the article this is what you pay. Self-employed people pay a higher contribution than a regular employee because there is no employer’s contribution.

thanks for the article.

Considering moving to Norway and working remotely I would have to register as self-employed for the tax purpose.

I couldn’t find this information anywhere, so maybe you could know. If you are self-employed in Norway you pay 11.4% social contribution. Is that the total amount of social contributions you have to pay or you are still required to pay employer social contributions on top of that?

Asking because in Sweden as self-employed you have to pay employee and employer social contributions as technically you are your own employer, which ends up as a very high amount in that scenario.

Thanks,
Robert
