- Automatisk trekk via arbeidsgiver
Dersom du har avtalt at fagforeningskontingenten skal trekkes direkte fra lønnen din, vil arbeidsgiveren også trekke kontingent av feriepengene når de utbetales. Dette skjer automatisk, og beløpet rapporteres til Skatteetaten. - Skattefradrag
Du får skattefradrag for fagforeningskontingenten – opptil 8 250 kroner i 2025
Det betyr at selv om du betaler kontingent av feriepengene, får du igjen noe av dette på skatten.
Viktig å vite:
- Feriepenger er ikke skattefrie, men det virker ofte slik fordi skattetrekket fordeles over resten av året
- Kontingenten trekkes prosentvis av det du faktisk får utbetalt, inkludert feriepenger.

In English:
Vacation pay = Salary
«Holiday pay is a substitute for regular salary during vacation and is considered part of your total salary base. Therefore, it is treated the same way as regular salary when it comes to deductions such as union fees.»
- Automatic deduction via employer
If you have agreed that the union membership fee should be deducted directly from your salary, your employer will also deduct the fee from your holiday pay when it is paid out. This happens automatically, and the amount is reported to the Norwegian Tax Administration. - Tax deduction
You receive a tax deduction for union membership fees – up to NOK 8,250 in 2025.
This means that even though you pay union fees from your holiday pay, you will get some of it back through your taxes.
Important to know:
- Holiday pay is not tax-free, but it often seems that way because the tax deduction is distributed over the rest of the year.
- The union fee is deducted as a percentage of your actual payout, including holiday pay.
