Substantial growth in total assessed taxes
Assessed taxes for limited companies or non-personal taxpayers increased by NOK 45 billion or 35 per cent in 2004. Total assessed taxes from these companies amounted to NOK 173 billion in 2004.
No less than NOK 35 billion of the increase came from oil extraction companies. Oil extraction companies had assessed taxes of NOK 132 billion, of which special tax constituted 62 per cent. Assessed taxes for land-based activities amounted to NOK 37 billion, an increase of NOK 10 billion, compared with 2003. Total assessed taxes for power companies and shipping companies assessed by special rules totalled NOK 3.8 and 0.3 billion, respectively. These amounts were almost the same as the year before.
Tax deduction for received dividends
As from 2004, tax exemptions have been introduced for incomes from shares and other assets. This has resulted in the disappearance of tax deduction for received dividends, except unused tax deduction from the previous years.
About the statistical basis
The statistics are based on the Directorate of Taxes' register for non-personal taxpayers. The statistics cover mainly limited companies, but also include other corporations that pay tax in arrears.
