Your annual tax assessment is a document that shows how much tax you owe or how much you will receive as a tax refund. It is sent to you by Skatteetaten (the Norwegian Tax Administration) and is sent out during March and April with 31st of April as the due date for filing.

The tax assessment includes information on your income, deductions, and tax liability for the previous year.
