Most of the total sum was paid as taxes or contributions to the National Insurance Scheme. Taxes account for NOK 786 billion of the total sum of transfers, and member and employer contributions to the National Insurance Scheme were NOK 112 billion and NOK 158 billion respectively.

In addition to transfers, extraction of petroleum is an important source of income for the central government, with an operating surplus of NOK 132 billion and other income of NOK 20 billion in 2013. The operating surplus has decreased by NOK 17 billion, or 11.3 per cent from 2012.
