About NOK 40 billion was paid in taxes to the National Insurance Scheme in January. Compared to January 2012, this is an increase of 7.7 per cent or NOK 2.9 billion. Employer contributions increased by 9.6 per cent; about NOK 2.3 billion, to NOK 26.2 billion. The member contributions to the National Insurance Scheme totalled NOK 13.7 billion, which is an increase of 4.4 per cent compared to the same period last year.   

Increase in tax payments to the county and local authorities

The local and county authorities received NOK 18.8 billion in January. This is an increase of 9.2 per cent, or NOK 1.6 billion more than in January 2012. Of this amount, NOK 15.5 billion went to the local authorities, and the remaining NOK 3.3 billion went to the county authorities. This was an increase of 9.7 and 7.1 per cent respectively.

Over NOK 20 billion to central government

The ordinary tax and tax equalization contribution to the central government increased by 6.8 per cent from January 2012. The tax equalization contribution to the central government totalled NOK 17.2 billion, which is about NOK 1 billion more than the same period last year. This contribution to the central government is paid by everyone with an obligation to pay income tax to the local authorities, and is only generated through the advance tax arrangement. The ordinary tax to the central government is income and capital tax from both the advance tax arrangement and the non-personal taxpaying arrangement. In January 2013, NOK 3.1 billion was generated through the advance tax arrangement, and only NOK 15 million was from non-personal taxpaying arrangements.

The petroleum taxes received totalled NOK 64 million.
