Tax on consumption is not levied in Finnmark and some municipalities in Nord-Troms. Nordland, Troms and Finnmark do not pay VAT. The price in this table is the average for the entire country. To find the average price including taxes for areas not exempted from taxes, add 11.3 to the average price without taxes (see table 4). Subsequently add 24 per cent to this total. |
