Contributions from the advance tax arrangement accounts for most of the taxes paid in January 2014. Altogether, a total of NOK 81 billion fell within this category; an increase of 3 per cent from the previous year. In total, about NOK 41 billion was paid to the National Insurance Scheme. Employer contributions to the National Insurance Scheme totalled NOK 26 billion, rising 1.7 per cent from January last year.

Local authorities receive more tax payments

The local authorities received NOK 19 billion in taxes in January 2014, increasing by NOK 700 million, or 3.6 per cent from the same month in the previous year. Ordinary taxes to municipalities were about NOK 16 billion, while the taxes to the county authorities came to NOK 3 billion; an increase of 3.5 and 3.9 per cent respectively from January 2013.

Increase in tax payments to central government

A total of NOK 22 billion in tax payments went to the central government in January 2014, which corresponds to a NOK 1.5 billion, or a 7.6 per cent increase compared to the same period last year. The majority of these payments are from the tax equalization contributions to the central government, which is paid by everyone who is required to pay tax to the local authorities. In addition to this, there are ordinary taxes to the central government, consisting of income tax and capital tax from both the advance tax arrangement and the non-personal taxpaying arrangement. By the end of January 2014, the advance tax arrangement had paid about NOK 3.2 billion in income tax and capital tax to the central government, while about NOK 46 million came from non-personal taxpaying arrangements.

The contribution from petroleum taxes and tax from non-personal taxpaying arrangements totalled approximately NOK 1 billion in January 2014. This total is quite small, as the due date for most of the non-personal taxpaying arrangements falls outside this month.
