Tax law is characterised by internationalisation, a changing world economy and technological developments. Norwegian tax law has become more complex and is increasingly affected by international legal developments. An inadequate understanding of applicable regulations may have major repercussions for businesses. We provide clear and practical advice, thereby enabling our clients to attain their commercial objectives in the most effective manner.
