That means that if a choir, for example, incurs expenses because it needs to tune a piano, the club can be compensated for the VAT on tuning the piano and on other goods and services, if they otherwise meet the criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-can-apply\">Who can apply?<\/h2>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>You must be a non-profit organisation in which voluntary work accounts for an important part of your activities. In addition, the organisation must be registered in the Register of Non-Profit Organisations by the deadline for applications, 1 September, and meet the other criteria in the regulations<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-local-and-regional-levels\">Local and regional levels<\/h2>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Is your organisation a branch at local or regional level? If your organisation is a member (branch) of a national organisation (e.g. the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports, the Norwegian Red Cross, the Norwegian Women&rsquo;s Public Health Association, etc. ), the main organisation must submit the application on behalf of all of its branches. Contact your main organisation for information about reporting and internal deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-register-of-non-profit-organisations\">The Register of Non-Profit Organisations<\/h2>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Applicants must be registered in the Register of Non-Profit Organisations by 1 September in the year they apply. Branches at local or regional levels must also be registered. Please note that branches at all levels must be independent legal entities, cf. Section 2 of the Regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><li>Lower limit<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>To be able to apply, your organization must have operating expenses or VAT expenses that exceed a lower limit:<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><li>Pursuant to a simplified model, the organisation must have total operating expenses of at least NOK 100,000 after restrictions and deductions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><li>Pursuant to the documented model, the organisation must have actual VAT expenses that qualify for a refund of at least NOK 7000.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>However, the lower limits do not apply if you are a lower-level branch of a main organisation. In such case, the total amount for the whole organisation will apply.<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>All applicants must have approved and signed annual accounts, an annual report and an auditor&rsquo;s report for the previous year. Other mandatory enclosures depends on the model chosen and the size of the organisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a non-profit organisation, or are you engaged in non-profit work and have substantial VAT expenses?
