Changes in the data source

The statistics are based on information that is affected by VAT-legislation. The Norwegian Tax Administration and the local tax administrations have collected this information. Previously, this information only included turnover affected by VAT-legislation. From the 1^{s t} period in 2001, the turnover figures are based on information both affected by VAT-legislation and information that is not. Because of this, the figures from the1^{s t} period in 2001 and onwards are not comparable with previous periods.

All figures are exclusive VAT.
