SAF-T Norway

Integration for the Recreatex cash register system

This guide outlines how the Recreatex cash register system has been adapted to meet the SAF-T requirements specific to Norwegian tax regulations. SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is a standardised digital format used internationally to facilitate tax audits by providing structured financial data.

What is SAF-T?

SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is a digital reporting format used by businesses to share financial data with tax authorities in a consistent and transparent way. It helps streamline audits and ensures accurate reporting.

Why SAF-T matters

Here is why SAF-T compliance is important and where it is used:

  • Simplified audits: SAF-T files enable tax authorities to review a company’s financial records efficiently, reducing audit time and effort and making the process more streamlined for businesses and tax agencies.

  • Improved accuracy: Standardised formatting minimises errors and inconsistencies in financial data.

  • International use: SAF-T is adopted in many countries, allowing global businesses to report financial data in a consistent format and comply more easily with local tax regulations.

  • Secure electronic submission: SAF-T files are submitted digitally in a secure format, helping prevent data tampering and ensuring reliable communication with tax authorities.

  • Enhanced transparency: SAF-T requires detailed transaction reporting, making financial data more traceable and reducing opportunities to conceal income or expenses.

In short, SAF-T helps businesses provide clear, accurate, and secure financial data to tax authorities, supporting smoother and more reliable audits.
