It was March 10 and the general meeting was at work. There we were told that the Dinside newsroom was among those that should be installed in the central office in the future, as a measure to limit the risk of contagion among employees, where only a few should be in the office.
The rest of the monthly card in Vy was canceled, and since then I have worked from home, like many others. The signals we have received so far indicate that this can quickly last the rest of the year.
Corona problems? Defer residual tax
But you could also give me a tax break next year. With a long distance to work, I get a travel deduction as usual, but in 2020 there will be far fewer trips to the capital than normal. If you are going to do the right thing on your tax return next time, there is a deduction to remember to change.
And I’m not alone: according to statistics from Statistics Norway, nearly 280,000 taxpayers received a travel deduction in 2018.
For my part, I will not even exceed the deductible of NOK 22,700 this year and therefore I will not receive a travel deduction in 2020, at least not if there is a home office for the rest of the year. Because the way it’s set up means you don’t get 1/6 of the travel deduction for two months of travel to and from work.
According to Nav’s travel deduction calculator, I normally have a tax credit of NOK 6,214 due to this travel deduction:
So it’s money that you might want to pay extra in taxes for the rest of the year, so it will prevent your tax settlement from going into several thousand dollars in the red when summer rolls around.
For my part, I can have the employer deduct a little over 1,500 kronor (6214/4) from the remaining five salaries to cover what I normally get in travel deductions and therefore I will not receive a deduction this year.

In other words: run a calculation in Nav, divide the sum with a red ring around the amount of wages remaining this year, and request that that additional amount be deducted in taxes for the rest of the year.
Then you will avoid tax breaks on the travel deduction next summer.
When you can finally go on vacation abroad again.
