Kopinor is – as stated in the by-laws – «an association with no independent economic objectives». All collected remuneration is paid out to the rightsholders after deduction of Kopinor’s management fees.
Remuneration paid out to the individual rightsholder is collected from different schemes.
The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training pays a transactional fee per used work (2024: NOK 493).
A management fee of 10 % is deducted from the state compensation.
The management fee which is deducted from the remuneration, is based on Kopinor’s operating expenses in the year of accrual.
No management fees are deducted.
Before payment to the organisations of Norwegian and foreign rightsholders, a management fee is deducted from the remuneration, based on Kopinor’s operating expenses in the year of accrual.
The level of administration costs is decided by Kopinor’s Council of Representatives through the annual budget. The final accounts are reported in the Annual report, which also states the operating expenses as a share of the total income.
