Brief information about organisation numbers for the public sector in the a-melding

In each a-melding, you must identify the party for which you are submitting the a-melding, normally by stating the legal organisation number. Any entity that has employees must also state the organisation number of the enterprise, also known as the ‘enterprise number’.

In addition to the legal organisation number and organisation number for the enterprise, the public sector can also have one or more organisational links that also have their own organisation number.

The numbers you can use to identify the party you are submitting the a-melding for and that you are specifying as the declarant will depend on whether you are submitting the a-melding from the municipal or state sector.

 

Employees must be linked to an organisation number for enterprise

For enterprises with employees, the employees must always be linked to an organisation number for enterprises, not to the organisation number that belongs to the following organisation forms: State, Municipality, County, organisational link or ADOS (these organisation forms are only used by the public sector). This applies to both the municipal and state sectors.

Don't have an organisation number for the enterprise? See brreg.no and altinn.no for more information and an application form.

 

Municipal sector

If you submit an a-melding from the municipal sector, you must use the legal organisation number in order to identify the party you are submitting the a-melding for (declarant). You must link the employment information for the employees to the organisation number for the enterprise.

 

Example use of an organisation number

A municipality is registered in the Register of Legal Entities as shown in the figure above.  The municipality must use the legal organisation number of the “Declarant - municipality” when it submits a-meldings.

The employment information for the employees must be linked to Enterprise A, Enterprise B and Enterprise C with their respective organisation numbers for the enterprise. The municipality must not specify the organisation number of “Organisational link - municipality” in the a-melding.

 

State sector

If you submit an a-melding from the state sector, you can use the organisation number that belongs to the organisational link in order to identify the declarant. You must link the employment information for the employees to the organisation number for the enterprise.

 

Example use of organisation number in the public sector  

A ministry is registered in the Register of Legal Entities as shown in the model above. 

When the directorate submits an a-melding, it uses “Organisational link - directorate” as the legal organisation number. The employment information for the employees is linked to the organisation numbers for enterprise A and enterprise B.

When the ministry submits an a-melding, it uses “Organisational link - ministry” as the legal organisation number. The employment information for the employees must be linked to the organisation number for enterprise C.

For what purpose do we use the information

All information in the a-melding is linked to a legal organisation number (or an organisation number for organisational link). This is used when information in the a-melding is distributed to NAV, Statistics Norway and the Norwegian Tax Administration. 

Information on organisation number for enterprises is transferred to the Aa Register together with employment information. The Aa Register contains an overview of the employees of each individual enterprise.

Public authorities such as NAV, Statistics Norway, the Norwegian Labour Inspection Authority and the police agency use information from the Aa Register to fulfil their remit and perform checks.
