Fees 2024
The BoD has set the following membership fee categories for membership in the East Office of Norway for the year of 2023.
For company members, the below fee categories are based on a company’s turnover.
If a company member belongs to a group of companies, the fee will be based on a consolidated turnover of the group. For companies with domestic parent company, the fee is based on group’s consolidated turnover. For Norwegian companies with non-Norwegian parent company, the fee is based on the turnover of the Norwegian company (and its subsidiaries). The above applies vice versa for companies in partner countries.
If a company member belongs to a group of companies, the BoD may accept to set the membership fee based on the isolated turnover of a such company member if the company’s business activities fall outside core/main business activities of the other companies in the group.
Please note that the membership fee is valid for a calendar year, i.e. from the date of the Board’s approval of the membership and until 31 December of the same year.
