Title: Rent taxes on natural resources in Norway: A short overview
Abstract: For a long time, Norway has had resource rent taxes on oil- and natural gas extraction as well as on hydropower generation.

This paper gives a short overview of the rent theory, the basis for rent generation in Norway, the size of rent generated, the Norwegian tax system for resource rent for each of the resources considered, and the rent taxes collected.
