The shareholder register statement (AR-oppgaven) will receive a new reporting solution in 2026
The Norwegian Tax Administration has announced that the current method for submitting the shareholder register statement will change. From June 2026, the statement can no longer be submitted through the Altinn solution, and all companies will instead be required to use an approved end-user system.
This represents a significant change that will affect all limited companies in Norway.
What does this change mean in practice?
Today, the shareholder register statement is submitted through Altinn. This functionality will be phased out in 2026, and the Norwegian Tax Administration now requires that:
the reporting must be submitted through an approved end-user system
companies must ensure that their systems support the new reporting method
any necessary adjustments must be made before the deadline
For companies using systems that do not support this functionality, the system will need to be upgraded or replaced.
Equro clients do not need to make any changes
For companies that are already clients of Equro, this change will have no practical consequences.
Equro has for several years submitted the shareholder register statement through our own approved end-user system.
This means that:
you are already compliant with the Tax Administration’s requirements
we handle the entire reporting process on your behalf
no changes or actions are required
In short: Equro clients are already prepared for 2026.
Do you have additional companies that require reporting?
If you manage or are responsible for additional companies that also need to submit the shareholder register statement via an end-user system, we can easily add these entities to the Equro platform.
This provides:
a consolidated overview
efficient and accurate reporting
fewer systems to manage
Just let us know — we’ll take care of the rest.
