What this value means
Standard MVA rate is 25% and has been unchanged at that level since 1 Jan 2005 (raised from 24% then); it is re-enacted each year by the Stortinget's annual VAT resolution but the headline figure has not moved. Reduced rates (in notes only, NOT the served value): 15% on foodstuffs (næringsmidler) and on water/wastewater services; 12% low rate (lav sats) on passenger transport, accommodation (hotel room rental), cinema tickets, public broadcasting (NRK licence), and admission to sporting events, amusement parks and activity centres. A 0% rate (fritatt / zero-rated with deduction right) applies to exports, newspapers/books, and electric vehicles up to a price cap, among others. Confirmed on the official Skatteetaten rates page, which offers a year selector back to 2007.
