Decreasing petroleum-related tax income

During the period January through February, total tax payments amounted to NOK 144.6 billion. This is a modest increase of only 2.2 per cent compared to the same period last year. Declining tax revenues from petroleum extraction explain the low February numbers.

Paid and distributed taxes by county authority. Change in per cent, January-February, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013

Petroleum-related tax revenues totalled NOK 35.5 billion. This is 3.4 per cent, or NOK 1.2 billion, lower than the corresponding period last year. Of the NOK 35.5 billion, NOK 22.3 billion was generated from the special income tax on extraction of petroleum, while the remaining NOK 13.2 billion was from ordinary taxes on petroleum extraction. The reduction in tax payments from the oil-producing sector is mainly due to lower estimated instalments on the 2012 tax on income.

NOK 109.1 billion was generated through mainland Norway. This represents a 4.2 per cent increase, or NOK 4.4 billion, compared to the same period last year. NOK 48.2 billion was received by the central government. The member and employer contributions to the National Insurance Scheme amounted to NOK 40.9 billion, while NOK 20 billion was paid to the local government through ordinary taxes on income and wealth.

More payments from advance tax arrangement

Excluding the petroleum-related tax revenues, NOK 27.9 billion was paid through the non-personal taxpaying arrangement. This is slightly less, NOK 0.7 billion, than the same period last year. The advance tax arrangement contributed with NOK 81 billion. This is NOK 5.1 billion more than the corresponding period in 2012.
