Payroll teams that handle garnishment deductions face an access cut from 1 DecemberSkatteetaten
Skatteetaten: from that date only the Altinn access packages «Lønn» and «Regnskapsfører lønn» give delegable access to a business's letters about utleggstrekk
Skatteetaten. The restriction covers the whole correspondence chain — orders to implement a deduction, changes to an order and cessation of a deduction
Skatteetaten — and it applies regardless of track: deductions under both the old and the new utleggstrekk scheme, and letters from both Skatteetaten's collection authority and the namsfogd
Skatteetaten. Skatteetaten gives privacy as the reason: the letters must be available only to people who need them for the payroll task.
In practice this is a delegation check across everyone who touches the letters. The letters this concerns are the order to implement a deduction, changes to an order and cessation of a deductionSkatteetaten. From 1 December, handling these letters requires «Lønn» or «Regnskapsfører lønn», whether the handler sits in the business itself or at its payroll bureau
Skatteetaten — after the cutover no other access route opens them
Skatteetaten. The access the two packages give is delegable
Skatteetaten, so the person in the business who holds one of them passes it on to each colleague or bureau worker who needs the letters. It does not matter which track the deduction follows or who sent the letter: old and new scheme alike
Skatteetaten, Skatteetaten collector and namsfogd alike, the same two packages govern
Skatteetaten. Every business that files a-melding should confirm the necessary access is in place ahead of the cutover. Skatteetaten's package overview and recorded information meeting show which package each a-ordning service requires.
The operative instruments are the Altinn access packages «Lønn» and «Regnskapsfører lønn»Skatteetaten, which from 1 December alone confer delegable access to a business's utleggstrekk letters
Skatteetaten. Check current delegations now: after 1 December, these letters have no other access route for handlers without one of the two packages
Skatteetaten.
