Relief for foreign corporation / income tax
I reside in Norway, and I'm the director, owner and sole employee of a UK limited company that provides consulting services. Since the services are generally delivered from my place of residence in Norway, the UK company has a Norwegian branch, and must pay corporate income tax there for receipts. In fact, most or all receipts are taxable in Norway, and the company has very little activity in the UK itself. Since the UK has a double taxation treaty with Norway, I was looking for guidance for how to avoid double taxation. So far, we've been doubly taxed, and tax authorities in Norway indicated that relief must be sought in the UK.
