Norway consulting on new withholding taxes on interest, royalties

Norway’s Finance Ministry is consulting shareholders on a new proposal to introduce withholding tax on certain payments to non-resident related parties.

It is proposed that a 15% withholding tax be levied on interest payments made to related parties located in low tax jurisdictions.

A 15% withholding tax is also proposed on payments made to non-resident related parties for the use of intangible assets.
