About tax in Norway:
Should your company as a business pay taxes in Norway?
If your company is tax resident in Norway, the general rule is that the company is tax liable to Norway for its worldwide income and wealth. If you conduct business outside of Norway, tax agreements between Norway and the state(s) where the business is conducted could reduce Norwegian taxes.
If your company is not a tax resident of Norway, the company is tax liable to Norway for the income attributable to Norwegian business operations. A tax agreement between Norway and the state where the company is resident could reduce Norwegian taxes. Whether your company has a permanent establishment in Norway will often be decisive for the tax liability.
