When is a gift to the employee tax-free ?

Overview of the Swedish Tax Agency's rules for tax-free gifts in employment and board assignments.

The Norwegian Tax Administration has its own rules for when gifts and gift cards can be tax-exempt in employment and board positions. As a general rule , non-cash gifts can be tax-exempt when:

the gift is given due to employment or board position
the total value of gifts during the year does not exceed NOK 5,000 per person

The rules can be complex and depend on, among other things, role, total value in the year and type of gift.

Note: Glede -gift cards cannot be withdrawn for cash or used for financial services, including money transfers and investments in funds, stocks or cryptocurrency. The purpose of Glede -gift card is that it is used within the expiration date. The flexibility is intended to give you as the recipient the freedom to choose a gift that you actually want.
