Earnings & payments

According to Norwegian tax law, all companies with annual sales exceeding 50,000 NOK are required to:

• Register for VAT (Merverdiavgift)

• Pay applicable VAT on services provided, including delivery services you provide to Wolt customers.

This applies to any business providing taxable services, including delivery services, once the 50,000 NOK threshold is exceeded.

As an example, if your company’s annual sales (or payouts from delivery services) exceed 50,000 NOK, your company should be in the VAT register and you should pay 25% VAT on your company’s earnings to the Norwegian tax collection authority. 

Please note that once your company is VAT registered, you need to inform Wolt through the Wolt Partner app by going to Support → Payouts → I am working as a Contractor, and my company is now VAT applicable (MVA-pliktig). After you send this request, Wolt will update your account and from then on, 25% VAT will be added to your earnings, which you are responsible for reporting and paying to the tax authorities.

If your company exceeds the threshold of 50,000 NOK in annual sales, and is not registered for VAT, this can be considered a violation of Norwegian tax law, and may lead to:

• Penalties by the tax administration for late filing

• Late or missing VAT returns may result in fines, administrative fees, and interest charges.

• Repeated violations may lead to doubled penalties and tax audits.

• Operating without proper VAT registration can be interpreted as tax evasion, which may carry legal penalties.

Failure to fulfill your legal obligations may also lead to the termination of your courier partner agreement with Wolt.

Things You Should Know:

If your company's annual income exceeds 50,000 NOK, you must register for VAT and pay the required VAT to the tax administration in Norway. After registering for VAT, you need to inform Wolt through the Wolt Partner app by going to Support → Payouts → I am working as a Contractor, and my company is now VAT applicable (MVA-pliktig). Once this is done, Wolt will add 25% VAT to your earnings, which you are responsible for paying to the tax authorities.

The estimated processing time for VAT registration in Norway is approximately 60 days, plus time needed for document preparation.

As an independent contractor, you should estimate your total annual earnings. If your company's income is expected to exceed 50,000 NOK within three weeks of creating the company, then you should register your company for VAT immediately.

If your company's income is not expected to exceed 50,000 NOK within three weeks of creating the company, you should register your company for VAT after 50,000 NOK of company income has been reached, as per Norwegian law. More information can be found here.

For more information, please check your VAT obligations directly with the Norwegian Tax Authority (Skatteetaten) here, or consult your invoicing partner or bookkeeper.

Check three things:

• The delivery falls inside a completed payout cycle (a delivery on the 16th isn't paid until the 1st of the next month).

• Your bank details are up to date and verified in the Partner App.

• Your self-billing invoice has been generated — check Partner App → Finance → Payment history.

If all three look right, contact support from the Partner App.

Changes take effect from the next payout cycle. Any invoice already processed will be paid to the previous account.

In case you need an invoice from your previous payouts, please reach out to support.

Matching considers availability, location, vehicle type, and any special capabilities (pharmacy, large order). It does not consider time spent online or performance history.

Your vehicle affects which tasks you receive, not the base fee formula. Bikes, mopeds, and cars are matched to tasks that suit each vehicle's range and capacity.

In-app tips are added to your earnings automatically and paid out in the same cycle as the delivery they're linked to — the 16th or the 1st.
