Norm prices form the basis for the taxation of the crude oil producers' earnings on the Norwegian Shelf.
Normprisene legges til grunn for beregning av råoljeprodusentenes inntekter i skatteregnskapene.
When deciding the norm prices, the Petroleum Price Council shall according to the Petroleum Tax Act, take into account relevant factors such as price and sales data from the companies and perform an assessment of the oil market.
Ifølge petroleumsskatteloven skal Petroleumsprisrådet ved fastsettelse av normprisene bl.a. ta hensyn til pris- og omsetningsdata fra selskapene og foreta en totalvurdering av markedssituasjonen.
1) The Norm Prices for the shipments from loading buoys have not been adjusted for freight costs in the permit licenses.
