Example situation

Based on the situation of one of our clients who received an opinion on unlimited tax liability in Norway, as well as the regulations regarding the avoidance of double taxation between Poland and Norway and court decisions in this matter, we can conclude that a person has Norwegian residence if:

• lives most of the time in Norway
• has only Norwegian citizenship
• has been living permanently in Norway for several years
• is single
• has adult children in Poland
• owns a house in Poland
• rents a house in Norway
• has income only in Norway
• with the center of life interests in Norway
• he stays in Poland occasionally
• is registered in Norway

In such a situation, the letter from KIS will only be an unquestionable confirmation of residence in the event of an inspection by the Tax Office. In other cases, not only that this will help with the inspection, but can also help establish residency if your situation is more complicated.

A letter from KIS or a residence certificate?

Many people think that a residence certificate is 100% proof of tax residence in a specific country. This is a myth.

Certificate of tax residency is not clear confirmation of our 100% tax residence in one of the countries. It only certifies the fulfillment of the residence conditions in a given country. Norway or Poland may issue such a document, but it does not in any way exempt you from tax liability in the other country if it results from the regulations..

This means that, for example, if the Tax Office requires us to pay additional tax due to double taxation, referring to the residence certificate will not change much in our situation, it is a minor argument. The office will require proof of being a Norwegian resident - this means meeting a number of residency requirements. The certificate itself will not matter.

Therefore, an individual interpretation of the National Tax Information is a much better solution here. It is a reliable document that will help in the event of claiming a subsidy in Poland by the Tax Office.
