Increase in petroleum taxes

NOK 641.3 billion was paid in taxes in Norway from January to October this year. Taxes on petroleum extraction account for NOK 167.3 billion of this amount.

Paid and distributed taxes by county. Change in per cent, January-October 2009 to 2010 and 2010 to 2011

NOK 63.4 billion was paid in ordinary petroleum tax and NOK 103.9 billion was paid in special income tax on extraction of petroleum. Compared to the corresponding period in 2010, this represents an increase of 31.4 per cent and 32.6 per cent respectively. The sum is also higher than in the corresponding period in 2009, but still not as high as the amount for the first 10 months of 2008.

Taxes to municipalities and county authorities totalled NOK 109.3 billion in the first 10 months of this year. This figure has decreased by 1.3 per cent from the corresponding period in 2010.

Payments to the National Insurance Scheme totalled NOK 188.3 billion from January to October 2011. NOK 79.4 billion was member contributions and NOK 108.9 billion was employer contributions. The total sum has increased by NOK 13.9 billion, or 8 per cent, from the corresponding period last year.

Lower taxes to municipalities due to changes in the income system

Our figures show that a larger part of the taxes are paid to the central government and a smaller part to the municipalities. This is the result of some recent changes in the income system for the municipalities. The changes involve a lower tax rate at the municipality level and higher subsidies from central government.
