Tax payments increase by 8.6 per cent

By the end of July 2011, a total of NOK 476.8 billion was paid in taxes in Norway. This is 8.6 per cent more than the sum paid by the end of July last year.

Taxes paid through the advance tax arrangement account for most of the taxes paid in July. A total of NOK 67.8 billion was paid this month. So far this year NOK 323.2 billion has been paid through the advance tax arrangement. This is NOK 17.7 billion, or 5.8 per cent, more than in the corresponding period last year.

Contributions to the National Insurance Scheme total NOK 149.2 billion in the first seven months of 2011. NOK 88 billion has been paid as employer contributions and NOK 61.2 billion has been paid as member contributions.

Taxes to municipalities total NOK 70.5 billion and taxes to county authorities total NOK 14.8 billon from January to July this year.

Lower taxes to municipalities due to changes in the income system

Our figures show that a larger part of the taxes are paid to the central government and a smaller part to the municipalities. This is the result of some recent changes in the income system for the municipalities. The changes involve a lower tax rate at the municipality level and higher subsidies from the central government.
