Norway’s non-petroleum tax payments reach NOK 1.076 trillion through September
Statistics Norway recorded NOK 1.076 trillion in cumulative non-petroleum tax payments from January through September 2026, compared with NOK 953 billion over the same months in 2025. Petroleum extraction tax payments were NOK 276 billion, versus NOK 275 billion a year earlier.
Event / data period:
Published: · Updated:
SSB flags a new advance-withholding payment arrangement in 2026 that creates a strong one-off increase against 2025. The comparison therefore should not be read as a similar-sized surge in economic activity or tax liabilities. These are payments received to date, not annual totals or assessed taxes.
