PIT 2018 online - what does it look like in practice?

On April 4, it will start sending up to 4,9 million taxpayers, a draft of their tax returns. During this period, the Norwegians may receive false e-mails allegedly from Skatteetaten - with the promise of a positive tax return and a large refund.

Svein Mobakken - representative of the Tax Office in Norway in the press announcement provides:

“We never include any links in our messages and we never ask you to click on them. We also never ask taxpayers to provide any banking or credit card information. "

Svein Mobakken also asks for a quick response and support for the common good:

“We ask all those who feel they have received suspicious messages to contact us. Thanks to this, we will be able to react and warn the public against the spread of fraud attempts. "

Communication with the Tax Office takes place only after logging into a special panel - other attempts to contact should be received with skepticism by citizens.

Phishing in Norway (and elsewhere) is becoming more common. Last year, 11 phishing waves were registered - the fraudsters impersonated the Norwegian tax services.
