Decrease in paid tax on profits for companies in Stavanger

Stavanger’s tax payments excluding petroleum taxes are 14.5 per cent lower than the corresponding period last year. The other municipalities in Rogaland all either had the same level of income from tax payments or an increase in these payments. The reduction in Stavanger is due to lower income from taxes on companies’ surplus and to outflows from the settlement of tax matters in previous years.

Petroleum taxes down from 18 to 13 per cent of total taxes

At the end of November 2015, NOK 790 billion was paid in total tax. The corresponding figure for last year is NOK 815 billion.
