The Norwegian Tax Administration - StatRes
The Norwegian Tax Administration comprises the Directorate of Taxes and tax offices, which are organized into five regions. The main tasks are determination of tax on income and wealth, employer's National Insurance contributions, inheritance tax and value added tax on sales. In addition, the Tax Administration is responsible for keeping the National Population Register in Norway up-to-date. The collection of taxes is split between The Tax Administration and the municipal tax collectors. The statistics include only the Tax Administration’s portion of this work.
