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.

## Data

### Statistics reported by the source

SSB compares cumulative non-petroleum tax payments and petroleum extraction tax payments in the first nine months of 2026 with the same period a year earlier.

Methodology: These are cumulative payments received from January through September. SSB highlights that the 2026 advance-withholding arrangement causes a one-off increase in the comparison; the figures do not measure real-economy growth.
