Norwegian tax return owes me a grand

[Jakarta]

I did a few days work last year in Norway and the group I worked through appear to have done things properly and they owe me abut £16 back which is nice for a pint or two.
But as part of the log-in process I received full details and access to previous data. I worked in Norway for a month or so in 2011 and my tax return for 2012 which I had never seen before shows an outstanding credit of about 11,000 NOK.
If I go to the following link :
https://www.skatteetaten.no/en/person/taxes/tax-as...

It states nothing owed either way so I guess this has been lost to the Norwegian government and won't come my way.
Unless anybody knows a way of navigating their system to bring this back to life?

Virtual pint on me if you do...

£854 + 8 years' interest. Or on the downside, maybe it resets to zero after so long. I guess only Noggin the Nog's tax department can help.

Without seeing the pages after login it'd be impossible to help but the nice people at Skatte speak perfectly good English and were more than helpful when I needed assistance when I first lived there 5 or 6 years ago.

I had this in 88 when I went back to Norway, after 4 years away. if you where on a deal where your employer filed your tax you will have a major issue getting then to pay you an overpayment, if your signiture is not on the return they will want to pay to the company.
I had the opposite they claimed I owed money, and came after me for an underpayment, I'm an accountant and fought it, eventually proved I was in fact due a refund, at that point they changed their position, and said they would only return the overpayment to the company that filed the return
I fought and eventually after 4 years got a refund, but I had the qualifications to fight without spending money on professional fees. I'd try a few letter, then drop it if you need to spend money on fees.

Thanks for the info. I'll get in touch with them on Monday and then drop it if it starts to look difficult.

Could take a bit of time to reply to you. The deadline for this year's returns was a few days ago, and I presume it is less efficient working with corona too. That said, some companies can delay their returns until autumn.
