Taxes when you work

• Your employer shall deduct tax every time you receive salary. This is payment of tax in advance.

• The following year the tax office calculates your final tax as compared to the tax your employer has deducted from your salary.

You’ll get your money back.

You must pay tax arrears.

• Liliya Akaeva and her two children of 5 and 7 years came to Norway as Chechen refugees three years ago.

• Her husband is in a refugee camp. Liliya and her children want him to come to Norway.

• After completing the introductory program, she has begun to apply for a job.

• Liliya is looking for different jobs. She is a graduate in law from her homeland, but it is difficult to get a job that fits her education. That’s why she agrees to start to work for Vox as a cleaner.

Tax refund

Liliya receives her tax settlement notice at the end of June 2010

Tax Settlement notice also includes salary and tax deducted from the summer job.

Does Liliya need the forms later?

Yes, she needs them if she applies for:

• Family immigration (family reunification) • Visits by relatives from the homeland • Bank loans• Unemployment benefits

She needs them also if:

• The employer doesn’t inform the tax office about the tax she has paid

• The employer goes bankrupt

Liliya gets holiday pay

• Liliya gets a salary for 11 months each year. The last month is holiday and she gets holiday pay.

• All are entitled to four weeks and one day of holiday and get 10.2% of last year's salary as holiday pay.

• Some have an agreement for five weeks of holiday and receive 12% of last year's salary as holiday pay .

• Holiday pay is paid by the employer, usually in June.

• How much does Liliya get as holiday pay from Vox?

Sara works illegally

• Sara and her two children came to Norway as refugees last year.

• She gets an offer to work illegally as a cleaner.

• Illegal or undeclared work is when you work without paying taxes.

• Sara wants to make a lot of money quickly, and therefore believes that it’s worth accepting the offer.

What do you think?

Sara works illegally and cannot get…

• Family immigration and visits from her homeland• Social benefits (sick pay, unemployment benefits and

maternity pay)• Bank loan• Holiday pay• Retirement pension• Contract of employment • Job-leaving document• Salary guarantee in case of bankruptcy

Is working illegally worth it?

Community consequences of undeclared work

• Less money for health care, social security benefits, etc.

• Higher taxes (VAT, excise duties and taxes on income)

• Unfair competitive conditions for companies that follow the law

Information update…

• Liliya is reunited with her husband.

• She has taken business administration courses organized by NAV.

• She now has a job as a legal officer for the municipality and has left the job as a cleaner.

• Sara has been caught for working illegally and must pay additional tax on the amount of money she has earned.

• For Sara's employer there will also be economic consequences. It may also lead to other penal reactions, such as penalties and imprisonment.
