1  From 1 January 2004 tax on consumption of electricity has been collected by the grid rent company. Therefore the tax on consumption of electricity is included in the electricity price before 2004 and in the grid rent afterwards. Tax on consumption is not levied in Finnmark and some municipalities in Nord-Troms. Nordland, Troms and Finnmark do not pay VAT.
