Lower payments through the non-personal taxpaying arrangement have led to a decrease in total payments. The petroleum taxes, which are only paid through this arrangement, have decreased by NOK 24 billion since July 2014. Additionally, the tax equalization contributions from the non-personal taxpaying arrangement have decreased by NOK 7 billion.

Payments through the advance tax arrangement have increased by NOK 14 billion, which reduces the decline in total payments. At the end of July 2015, NOK 393 billion had been paid through this arrangement. NOK 105 billion of this sum was taxes to the central government, NOK 18 billion was taxes to county authorities, NOK 83 billion was taxes to municipalities and NOK 187 billion was contributions to the National Insurance Scheme.
