Increase in assessed taxes

Assessed taxes for personal taxpayers and companies amounted to NOK 557 billion in total in the income year 2006. This is an increase of NOK 64 billion from 2005.

Mistakes in the statistics corrected in later publications

New rules were introduced in petroleum taxation in 2005, and these affect the figures for tax statistics on companies and survey of tax assessment. The figures in this article do not reflect the corrections made. For new and updated figures, see Tax statistics for companies and the tables therein (2009) (published 20 December 2010, corrected 25 January 2011) and Tax statistics. Survey of tax assessment and the accompanying tables (2008) (published on 16 February 2010, corrected on 25 January 2011).

For further information on the corrections and why they were made, see the article " Correction of statistics - paid exploration expenses ".

In 2006, companies contributed with a larger amount of assessed taxes than individual taxpayers for the first time. In 2003, assessed taxes for companies accounted for 35 per cent of total taxes, compared with more than 50 per cent in 2006.

Total tax deductions decreased from NOK 43.5 billion in 2005 to NOK 19 billion in 2006. This was mostly due to changes in tax rules for received dividends. Deductions for received dividends decreased by NOK 27.5 billion from 2005 to 2006.

About the statistical basis

The statistics are based on the ordinary tax assessment for individuals and companies collected from the Directorate of Taxes’ tax register.
