Increased entrepreneurial income
Entrepreneurial income for self-employed amounted to NOK 232 000 on average in 2005. This is an increase of NOK 50 000 or 27.4 per cent from the previous year. Estimated personal income from self-employment was NOK 165 000, an increase of 6 per cent.
Self-employed in primary industries had the highest growth in entrepreneurial income with NOK 105 000 or close to 40 per cent. Self-employed in other industries had an increase in entrepreneurial income of NOK 92 000 on average.
The increase is probably partly due to changes in tax rules in 2006. While profit from sales of capital income was treated as capital income and taxed at 28 per cent in 2005, it was treated as personal income in 2006.
