However, not all businesses are required to comply with the cash register obligation. Understanding who is exempt from this requirement is essential for entrepreneurs and business owners in the country.

- Small-Scale Businesses: One significant exemption from the cash register obligation in Norway applies to small-scale businesses. If your annual turnover does not exceed NOK 50,000 (4500 EUR), you are not required to implement an electronic cash register system. This exemption is aimed at reducing administrative burdens for very small enterprises.
- Hobby Activities: If your business is considered a hobby activity and not your primary source of income, you may not need to invest in a cash register system. The authorities generally distinguish between a hobby and a full-time business based on factors such as income generated and the time devoted to the activity.
- Certain Non-Profit Organizations: Some non-profit organizations may be exempt from the cash register requirement. However, this exemption is not universal and depends on the nature of the organization's activities. Religious, charitable, or cultural organizations, for instance, might be eligible for this exemption.
- Agricultural and Forestry Businesses: Agricultural and forestry businesses that primarily deal with raw products, like farms and logging operations, are often not subject to the cash register obligation. However, if these businesses engage in retail sales, they may still need to comply with the regulations for those specific activities.
- Exemptions for Remote Sales: Businesses engaged in remote sales, such as e-commerce companies, may have different requirements. While they might not need a traditional cash register, they are still expected to maintain accurate sales records.
- Vending machine sales: This exemption applies only to sales that are made through machines that automatically dispense goods or services upon payment. Examples of such machines are coffee machines, parking meters, ticket machines, etc.
These exemptions are based on the assumption that these businesses have a low risk of tax evasion and a high cost of implementing cash register systems.
