Tax statistics. Electric power station, 2004

As from 2004, the rules for determining the tax base for tax on natural resources and tax on ground rent income were changed. Only generators having an output of at least 5500kVA are now included in the tax base. Before the changes were made, the tax base included generators with an output of 1500kVA or more. The changes have primarily affected tax on ground rent income. Tax on natural resources is not affected much, because it is computed from the power station's average production of electric power during the last seven years.
