VAT compensation for voluntary organizations

Recover VAT and support voluntary efforts

Voluntary organizations have the opportunity to apply for VAT compensation through the Norwegian Gaming and Foundation Authority (Lotteri- og stiftelsestilsynet). This scheme is designed to promote voluntary activity by compensating for costs related to the purchase of goods and services. At MPR Audit, we assist organizations in ensuring they meet the requirements of the program.

Audit requirements for larger organizations

If an organization has operating costs exceeding NOK 5 million, an auditor's attestation is required to obtain VAT compensation. We provide the necessary audit and certification in accordance with current regulations, ensuring that the compensation is claimed in compliance with the law.

Who is eligible for VAT compensation?

The following types of organizations qualify for value-added tax compensation:

• Democratic non-profit associations: Associations run by volunteers with a non-commercial purpose.
• Religious and life-stance organizations: Faith-based or value-based organizations that promote a specific worldview or religious practice.
