Expensive dwellings have lower assessed tax value
Expensive dwellings have lower relative assessed tax value than cheaper dwellings. This is generally the case for all types of housing throughout Norway.
Homes that are sold for less than NOK 1 million have an average assessed tax value of 27 per cent of the sales price, according to an overview of almost 49 000 dwellings sold in 2004. In comparison, homes sold for more than NOK 2 million have an assessed tax value of 14 per cent.
Lowest in Oslo og Bærum
Detached houses and "småhus" (semi-detached houses, row houses and linked houses) in Oslo and Bærum, have the lowest relative assessed tax value, with a ratio of 13 per cent. The corresponding share for the country as a whole is 20 per cent.
Data
A total of 48 635 open market sales are included in the calculations. The statistics are based on information on assessed tax value from the assessment of taxes in 2004. Sales price is provided by the Ground property, Address and Building Register (GAB).
