NOK 493 billion in tax

People and companies were assessed for a total of NOK 493 billion in tax for the income year 2005. Compared with 2004, this is an increase of NOK 70 billion. Companies accounted for NOK 57 billion of the increase.

Mistakes in the statistics corrected in later publications

New rules were introduced in petroleum taxation in 2005, and these affect the figures for tax statistics on companies and survey of tax assessment. The figures in this article do not reflect the corrections made. For new and updated figures, see Tax statistics for companies and the tables therein (2009) (published 20 December 2010, corrected 25 January 2011) and Tax statistics. Survey of tax assessment and the accompanying tables (2008) (published on 16 February 2010, corrected on 25 January 2011).

For further information on the corrections and why they were made, see the article " Correction of statistics - paid exploration expenses ".

Total gross taxes for 2005 amounted to NOK 537 billion, while deductions and deductions for received dividends amounted to almost NOK 44 billion. Personal taxpayers paid NOK 263 billion in taxes, whereas companies were assessed for NOK 231 billion.

More to counties - less in community tax

Assessed county taxes made up almost NOK 19 billion in 2005, an increase of 23 per cent compared with the previous year. In comparison, municipalities received NOK 89 billion in taxes, an increase of about 7 per cent compared with 2004. The shift in assessed taxes between municipalities and counties is due to changes in the distribution of tax income between municipalities, counties and the state. The share of taxes to municipalities remained at 13.2 per cent in 2005, while the counties received an increase from 2.6 per cent to 3 per cent. The community tax was reduced from 12.2 per cent to 11.8 percent.

Increase in tax deductions

Total tax deductions for 2005 amounted to almost NOK 44 billion, which is an increase in total deductions of NOK 14 billion compared with 2004. The increase was mainly due to an increase in deductions for received dividends from NOK 10 billion in 2004 to just over NOK 27 billion in 2005.

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on the ordinary tax assessment for people and companies from the tax register of the Directorate of Taxes.
