Our Client
A specialist labour supplier required corporate tax advice and support in order to resolve an issue with unexpected Norwegian corporate tax.
Our Approach
- Reviewed the contract between our client and the multinational to fully understand the work performed by our client
- Contacted customers of the client to request an amendment confirming that this was a labour hire agreement
- Supported our client with subsequent correspondence with the Norwegian Tax Authorities including project managing the appeal
The Outcome
- The appeal was successful
- The charge to Norwegian corporate tax was removed, which would have represented an incremental and unexpected cost to the company
- Advised the client to, in future, challenge their customers’ generic contractual clauses to ensure that future contracts reflect the fact that they are a supplier of specialist labour
- Assisted with future reporting of contracts to the Norwegian Tax Authorities to ensure that no charge to Norwegian CT would arise in the future
