A total of NOK 474.1 billion has been paid in taxes in the first half of this year. This is an increase of NOK 26.5 billion from the corresponding period in 2012. Taxes paid through the advance tax arrangement account for NOK 289.7 billion of the total sum of taxes paid this year. This sum has increased by 6.7 per cent from the first half of 2012. NOK 129.9 billion of the sum was paid as contributions to the National Insurance Scheme, NOK 70.2 billion was tax equalisation contributions to the central government and NOK 63 billion was paid in taxes to the municipalities.

Most of the taxes paid in June were paid through the non-personal taxpaying arrangement. Taxes paid through this arrangement account for NOK 37.2 billion of a total of NOK 40 billion. Taxes on petroleum extraction account for most of this, with a sum of NOK 35 billion. Although payments of petroleum taxes in June this year were slightly lower than in June 2012, the total sum for the first half of 2013 is 8.8 per cent higher than for the same period last year. NOK 118.9 billion has been paid in oil taxes so far this year. Ordinary petroleum taxes account for NOK 44.4 billion of this sum and special taxes on the extraction of petroleum account for NOK 74.6 billion.
