Annual accounts and tax (årsregnskap)

Årsregnskap, notes, the board's annual report and the corporate tax return — prepared, quality-checked and filed in Altinn well before 31 May and 31 July.

Year-end

A year-end that closes on time, not in a panic

For an AS the year-end is a fixed sequence: the accounts are closed, the tax return (skattemelding for næringsdrivende) is filed by 31 May, the general meeting adopts the accounts, and the annual accounts are submitted to the Register of Company Accounts by 31 July. Miss the last one and the enforcement fine starts running automatically.

We run that sequence for you. You approve, sign digitally, and receive a complete year-end file: financial statements, notes, tax computation, reconciliations and the board documents you need for the general meeting and for the bank.

What the service includes

  • Closing entries, accruals, depreciation and inventory adjustments
  • Financial statements with notes according to the Norwegian Accounting Act
  • Corporate tax return (skattemelding) with the tax computation and temporary differences
  • Board's annual report and minutes of the general meeting where required
  • Dividend calculation and the free equity test under the Companies Act
  • Submission of the annual accounts to Regnskapsregisteret before 31 July
  • A reconciliation binder that an auditor or a bank can open without extra questions

How it runs

The way we deliver it

A fixed sequence, the same for every client, so nothing depends on someone remembering it.

Price: Årsregnskap for a small AS from NOK 8 900 including the tax return and filing. The exact price depends on the number of transactions, whether the books were kept by us, and whether the company is subject to audit.

November: pre-close review

We look at the year while it can still be influenced — bonuses, purchases, dividends, provisions.

January–February: closing

All periods reconciled, closing entries booked, open questions cleared with you.

March–April: draft accounts

You get the draft with notes and the tax computation, and we walk through it together.

May–June: filing and AGM

Tax return filed, general meeting held, annual accounts submitted and confirmed.

FAQ

Questions we get about annual accounts and tax (årsregnskap)

The corporate tax return is due 31 May. The general meeting must be held within six months of the financial year-end, and the adopted annual accounts must reach the Register of Company Accounts by 31 July. Late submission triggers an enforcement fine (forsinkelsesgebyr) that increases the longer it runs.

Yes. We take the ledger as it stands, run our own reconciliation, and tell you clearly what we could not verify. Around a third of our year-end clients keep their day-to-day bookkeeping in-house.

Annual accounts filed with Regnskapsregisteret are public in Norway. The board's annual report is only mandatory for larger entities, but the accounts themselves are available to anyone — which is exactly why they should read well.

We calculate the distributable equity, test it against the Companies Act requirement for prudent equity and liquidity, prepare the general meeting resolution, and report the dividend correctly. We also compare it with salary so the total tax is not higher than it needs to be.
