I have been advised that my company must register with Bronnysund in Norway and also pay tax in Norway. Is this correct?
Can anyone here recommend a UK based accountant that can help me with this?

Thanks

Bronnoysund is similar to Company House as where you register your company in Norway (or any organisation eg non profits etc). It is named after the city where the offices are located.

Hi Skally

If your contract is for less than 6 months you should be able to pay your tax in the UK; if the contract is for longer than 6 months you will need to register for tax in Norway. The taxes are higher than here but you may qualify for higher tax allowance than you would have in the UK
