Norway

POS systems in Norway are not certified by the Tax Authority but must be declared compliant with full system documentation. The Declaration of Conformity must be submitted via the Altinn portal. A product declaration may only be issued by a supplier, defined as a manufacturer, importer, distributor, or other party that provides or modifies cash register systems for businesses. Importantly, the supplier must be independent from the business that uses the system. Every completed sale must be digitally signed and chained to the previous transaction, ensuring integrity and traceability. All continuous use of the cash register system must be registered in the Electronic Journal.

Type of fiscalization: Software

Norway operates a pure software-based fiscalization model with no fiscal hardware, no POS certification, and no real-time reporting. 

Compliance is achieved through digitally signed transactions, a tamper-proof Electronic Journal, SAF-T audit exports, and supplier declarations of conformity, enforced by the Norwegian Tax Administration. 

The fiscalization in Norway applies to anyone who runs a business and must file VAT or other tax returns.
