A-melding tightens pay-date checks from January 2027

From the January 2027 reporting period, two new validation rules apply to the a-meldingSkatteetaten. F532 triggers where the sum of forskuddstrekk on a single pay date is negative
Skatteetaten, at level øyeblikkelig. It replaces F277-2
Skatteetaten, which only triggered where the sum across the whole period was negative
Skatteetaten and now becomes redundant. A-ordningen notes the change can give hits for a number of opplysningspliktige at the start of 2027, and says it is necessary to bring down the number reporting with this error. F530 provides that en privat arbeidsgiver (f-nummer) kan ikke rapportere seg selv som ansatt
Skatteetaten.
Already in force since the October 2026 period is F529Skatteetaten: a filing that states zero employment percentage alongside fixed salary (fastlønn) is flagged as illogical
Skatteetaten, because fixed salary presupposes an active position with an agreed percentage. F529 runs as a guideline-level rule
Skatteetaten.
The same release adds a dedicated income description for jobbsjansenSkatteetaten, the Integrerings- og mangfoldsdirektoratet subsidy scheme to municipalities, which has existed for some years but now gets its own code. It applies from the January 2027 period
Skatteetaten; municipalities and payroll offices reporting those subsidies use the new description from then
Skatteetaten.
A-ordningen is also working on a-melding version 2.4Skatteetaten, which will apply from January 2028
Skatteetaten. The new version will be made available to end-user-system vendors no later than 1 May 2027
Skatteetaten, with guidance finished by 1 September 2027 and the test environment ready no later than 15 September 2027, while business rules are published on a rolling basis. Vendors should plan development against that timetable: content is decided finally by 1 April, IT development finished by 1 December, and the version goes into production that January. December is when vendors are first told a new version is coming, and January brings confirmation plus the proposals under work.
In practice, opplysningspliktige see F532 and F530 trigger on January 2027 period filings that breach them, and F529 has flagged combinations of zero stillingsprosent with fastlønn since the October 2026 period. Jobbsjansen payments go under the new income description from January. End-user-system vendors follow the December and January information rounds for the version 2.4 decision and content.
The rules are A-ordningens forretningsregler F532, F530 and F529, the new inntektsbeskrivelse for jobbsjansen and a-melding version 2.4Skatteetaten, published through Skatteetaten's end-user-system news for the 22 October 2026 information meeting.
File the January 2027 a-melding period with no negative per-date withholding total, no f-number employer self-reporting, and jobbsjansen under the new income description.
