Reporting obligations for General Partnerships (ANS/DA)
The most common reporting obligations for general partnerships relate to taxes and VAT.
Tax for general partnerships
In a general partnership (ANS or DA), the partners (owners) are personally liable for the company's obligations. This also applies to tax. The company is therefore not a separate tax entity. You and the other partners in the partnership must pay tax on any profit.
You will not be sent a tax invoice automatically. You must therefore alter your tax deduction card yourself and state how much you expect to take out in work remuneration, distributions and what your share of the profit will be. The Norwegian Tax Administration will calculate the amount of tax that you will have to pay based on the information you provide when amending your tax deduction card.
We assume that your company is registered in the VAT register.
