Tax free Shopping in Norway

On a visit to Norway, you will find a wide selection of options to shop tax-free.

Getting 12- 19% tax refunds to all tourists except those with legal residence in Sweden, Denmark, or Finland is possible. 

Norway's VAT (sales tax) rate is 25% on common goods and services and 15% on food. The prices you see in stores already include VAT.

In Norway, more than 3,000 shops around the country offer tax-free shopping. The TAX-FREE logo identifies a participating store, usually displayed near the front entrance or by the register.

The minimum purchase amount eligible for a refund at one store is NOK 315 for common goods and NOK 285 for food products. To claim -refunds are only available for purchases made in shops which are part of the scheme. 

You will find the Cash refund offices/service desks at various exits from Norway, for example, airports or onboard ferries and cruise ships. When you request your refund on departure, ensure you have your goods with the receipts, Global Refund Cheque forms, and your passport.
