VAT is a tax collected by the state on sales of goods and services. VAT is added to the value of the goods or services at every level of production or distribution. There is differentiation between ingoing and outgoing VAT. The company calculates outgoing VAT on sales, and can deduct ingoing VAT on its acquisitions if it is VAT-registered. In principle, all sales of goods and services are VAT-applicable. But there are also sales that are exempted according to the law. Some businesses can therefore work inside and outside VAT coverage. They will have to accommodate the different procedures for VAT for buying and selling, which means that they do not get the full deduction on their purchases.

Tandem is a company that has continuously built up its skills since it was founded in 1988. Since its establishment, the company has expanded cautiously through unbroken organic growth by means of new hires as and when new clients have joined us. Tandem became a 100% owned company within the OBOS group in 2016. Under the ownership of OBOS, Tandem’s ambitions increased in recognition of an exciting time ahead, in an industry going through change. Tandem is a centre of expertise and a service provider in the areas of accountancy, payroll and financial advice. Through the use of competitive technology, efficient interaction and profitable advice, Tandem’s clients achieve better profitability.  Tandem is big enough to handle complex jobs, yet small enough to be able to provide personal service to our customers. We believe in consistently increasing our skills in the field of accounting, assisting our customers in areas such as technology and systems, project management, consultancy on running their business, HR and personnel, along with tax and duties. We also work closely with a law firm whenever legal assistance is needed.  Our customer base consists of customers from a number of industry sectors, primarily in Greater Oslo. But we do also have a number of international customers, often with a Norwegian division.
