International tax reporting

Norwegian authorities have entered into international agreements on the exchange of asset information, FATCA and CRS.

This means that DNB is obliged to report customers who are domiciled in other countries for tax purposes to the Norwegian Tax Administration, which in turn reports the information to the countries in question.

What is the FATCA agreement?

As a result of Norway and the US entering into the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), DNB is required as a financial institution to report asset information to the Norwegian tax authorities, which in turn report the information to the tax authorities in the US. US citizens have a tax affiliation with the US and will be reported on this basis.

Submitting a self-certification form

To ensure that we report the correct information to the Norwegian Tax Administration, we need updated customer information from you. If you are domiciled outside of Norway for tax purposes, it is important that you send us a completed and signed self-certification form along with any documentation that shows where you are domiciled for tax purposes.

The documentation must be in Norwegian or English.
