From year 2023, the following two calculation codes are included: 'Employer's additional National insurance contributions' and 'Enterprises experiencing financial difficulties'. Additional NIC on 5 % of all taxable wages has to be paid when the total taxable salary benefits for an income recipient exceed the set threshold amount (NOK 750 000 in 2023) given by the regulation entering into force on 1 January 2023. The additional NIC is included in the value 'Total amount'. The code 'Enterprises Experiencing Financial Difficulties' pertains to enterprises considered to be having financial difficulties, necessitating the application of the highest rate (14.1%) across all zones as a general rule. Calculated employer's National insurance contributions (NIC) from public enterprises with simplified settlement are not included. Public sector includes state and social security administration, municipalities and counties. Private sector is here defined as all employers except public sector. Public enterprises are included in private sector. Reimbursement of sick pay normally includes reimbursement of taxable wages and other compensation which the employer has paid for employees in sickness absence or maternity leave. As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic several temporary national measures were introduced in 2020. Among these were the decision to expand 'Reimbursement of sick pay' to be used also for the reimbursement of wages for persons laid off (from 13th of March 2020) as well as for employees with COVID-19-related absence (from 20th of March 2020). The support scheme granting reimbursement of wages for persons laid off was in use until 31st of August 2020. The support scheme granting reimbursement of wages for COVID-19-related absence was in use throughout 2020, and is prolonged into 2021. The National insurance contributions are reduced by 4 % in May and June 2020. The employers shall not change their reports to the a-meldingen. The reduction is included in 'Calculated employer's National insurance contributions' in the statistics. The size of the reduction is calculated from the basis for employer's National insurance contributions reported in May and June 2020.
