Norway fact: The troll plays a significant part in Norwegian and Scandinavian folklore. The troll is an ugly, messy, nasty creature that lives in caves or forests.
Getting a covered education by the employer is perhaps one of the most favorable benefits
of nature in the tax law. When the employer covers education at colleges, university or the
like, this tax is free when:
- The education provides competence in current or future position at current employer.
- The education is conducted at up to 4 semesters, a maximum of 20 months, calculated
from a full-time study (part-time position lengthened the requirement proportionate). - The employee has been employed in a full-time position at least one year prior to starting
education. - As long as these terms are met there is no cap on how expensive the education is, as long as
what is covered is actual education costs.
