Our Approach
- Detailed review of contract between our client and the multinational, including "looking through" the contract and considering the actual work performed by our client
- Supported our client through getting in contact with their customer to request an amendment to the contract, confirming that in actual fact this was a hire of labour agreement
- Supported our client with subsequent correspondence with the Norwegian Tax Authorities and project managing the appeal to a successful completion
The Benefits to the Client
- The appeal was successful
- The charge to Norwegian CT was removed, which would have represented an incremental and unexpected tax 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
The Plus Factor in Action
- We helped our client make money by removing an incorrect charge to Norwegian Corporation Tax
- We saved our client time by dealing with all correspondence with the Norwegian Tax Authorities on their behalf so that they could focus on managing their business
- We gave our client peace of mind by project managing the successful appeal against incorrectly charged Norwegian Corporation Tax
- We supported them now and in the future by ensuring that the client amended their contractual procedures so that they could mitigate such matters in the future
