The total tax revenues are NOK 6.6 billion higher than the corresponding first quarter of 2013. In total, NOK 246.2 billion was paid in taxes from January through March 2013.

The central government had received NOK 82 billion by the end of March 2014. This is an increase of approximately NOK 6 billion, or 7.8 per cent, compared to the same period last year.
