NOK 36.2 billion was paid in taxes in August this year. The majority of the payments were from taxes on petroleum extraction, which accounted for NOK 30.9 billion of this. So far this year, there is only a 0.1 per cent increase in taxes on petroleum extraction from the same period last year, and this is also the reason for the low increase of 3.9 per cent in the overall tax payments.

Through the advance tax arrangement and non-personal taxpaying arrangement, excluding taxes on petroleum extraction, a total of NOK 439.6 billion has been paid. Compared to last year, this is an increase of 5.2 per cent, or NOK 21.9 billion. Contributions to the National Insurance Scheme accounted for NOK 171.3 billion of the payments through the advance tax arrangement, which is an increase of 6.7 per cent.
