Growth in tax income

From January to October 2008 total tax income amounted to NOK 608 billion. This is an increase by 10.2 per cent or 56 billion compared to the same period in 2007.

Paid and distributed taxes by county. Change in per cent, January-October, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008

Tax revenues from the Continental shelf increase by NOK 7.3 billion compared to the same period in 2007, and amount to NOK 198.4 billion.

Total tax paid to municipalities amounted to NOK 82.5 billion, a growth of 7.4 per cent compared to the same period last year. Tax revenue to county municipalities increased by 7.5 per cent and totalled NOK 16.9 billion.

Contributions to the National Insurance Scheme amounted to NOK 160.7 billion which is an increase of NOK 15 billion or 10.3 per cent, compared to the same period last year. Employer contributions were NOK 95.8 billion and member contributions constituted NOK 64.9 billion. The increases relative to last year were 10.9 per cent and 9.6 per cent respectively.

This article was corrected 24.11.2008 with updated figures for the petroleum taxes from the Continental shelf. It was also corrected 09.01.2009 with updated figures for employer and member contributions to the National Insurance Scheme. It is only the figures for these variables that have been corrected.

Due to the implementation of a new tax reporting system (SOFIE) at the Directorate of taxes, Statistics Norway has not been able to produce a table for tax revenues by type.

Some new features of the new reporting system are that the tax account statistics now also include tax revenue from Svalbard. Statistics Norway is only able to present total tax revenue for Svalbard, and cannot specify different types of taxes.

Statistics Norway has also chosen to present four new tax variables: Surtax on gross income, Community tax, Special tax on petroleum income and Ordinary income tax on petroleum revenue. These figures can be found in StatBank. As before, these figures are accumulated under the variable "Remainder" in the tables.

Due to the said changes, Statistics Norway has created a new time series for the Tax account statistics in StatBank starting from August 2008. The previous figures can be found in tables 03728 and 05284.
