The wealth tax value is determined on the basis of a price per square metre calculated by Statistics Norway (SSB). The price per square metre is intended to express an estimated market value per square metre and is based on statistical information about homes sold (home type, area, geographical location and age).

On the basis of Statistics Norway's prices per square metre, the Norwegian Tax Administration (Skatteetaten) sets annual rates per square metre. These rates will amount to 25% of the prices per square metre for primary homes (where the owner is registered in the population register as of 1 January) and 90% for secondary homes (all other homes).
