Scared housewife - I may owe tax???

  Written by Marc   Posted 4 March 2014

I have been a housewife for a very long time. I am now 63 years old. We are married outside community of property. I had a business for a short period, many years back, which failed (I have no business sense it seems) and since then my husband was giving me money every month. It was quite a lot of money at the time, but I didn't really think that it would count as a salary. I bought a house and sold it 10 years later using the money my husband gave me. I got about 500k out from that. I have the ...

Started at new company this year (Online company based in Norway) what tax do I pay?

  Written by Marc   Posted 27 February 2014

Up until December 2013 I worked at Incredible Connection. I earned a basic and commission. They always used the PAY-E (Pay as you earn) to pay my tax.

At my new Company, an online company based in Norway, I get paid a salary and commission together in 1 payment. I submit my commission table at the end of the month and I am paid around the 5th-7th of the following month.
