Information for foreign employees (censors, guest lecturers, etc.)

Payments to foreign employees can often present a number of problems.
It is important that these problems be solved before the person
concerned is to be paid, so that the payment itself can be effected as
painlessly as possible for all parties involved.

Anyone who invites a foreign censor, guest lecturer etc., must therefore
be aware of the following:

  1. Tax deductions will not be made for payments under NOK 15.000. For payments from NOK 15.001, a tax of 50 % will be deducted. The payment will, independent of the amount involved, be reported to the relevant authorities in the home country of the person concerned.
  2. Expenses for travel, hotel etc. will only be reimbursed on the basis of original receipts. Regarding plane tickets, the passenger receipt must be presented.
  3. We must get the following information from the person concerned; name, private address, date of birth, bank account number, name of bank, address of bank, SWIFT-code of bank. The same applies if the payment is to be made to a firm, an employer or similar.
  4. Cash payment or payment by check is unfortunately not possible.
  5. The money transfer itself can take some time, due to circumstances outside of our control. Transfers to countries outside of Europe and North America can take especially long. In the EFTA/EU region money will with a few exceptions be transferred in Euro. To other parts of the world US Dollars is the must common currency.
