Hi, please note that any reimbursement of expenses such as phone etc are subjected to income tax.

Sometimes it might be better to pay your own expenses.

In most of the case the benefits you get are still much higher than the tax cost.

As for the OP question, the salary is a bit on the lower band but not unacceptably low. Especially in the today's context of raising unemployement

Not for communication expenses.  Maybe it is only our company but the tax deduction is fixed amount per month. 370kr I think.  Imagine if you usually use less than 370kr, you are worse off being deducted 370kr per month for tax of such expenses.

Thanks! I negotiated a bit and they raised it almost 5%, but I find it acceptable since it's my first job in .no and looking to build more experience. They also provided the reasoning for the offer as well as hinting the salary shall grow proportional to tenure/deliverables.
