Hydroelectric plants

Hydroelectric plants /periodandyear/help/taxation/impersonal/information/basis-values/hydroelectrical-plant section 2024-09-20T08:09:24+02:00 # Hydroelectric plants In **Year-end closing - Information and tax - Information - Basis values** - you will find the work area for **Hydroelectric plant.** The area is activated by selecting \'Hydroelectric plant\' from **Edit feature areas.** On clients imported in 2023 from Altinn, Finale Årsoppgjør or Total Årsoppgjør, activation will be done automatically if there is a power plant in tax form RF-1151.

Import from Altinn, Finale Årsoppgjør or Total Årsoppgjør for the income year 2022

For the income year 2023, imports of historical data for income year 2022 can be made from either Altinn, Finale Årsoppgjør or Total Årsoppgjør.

Please note that imports will not be able to specify the correct type of fixed asset for special fixed assets in power plants, but use the lifetime (67 years / 40 years) to select a type that has the same lifetime (power station (67 years) or mechanical equipment (40 years) This must be changed manually to the correct type. This is done by registering the change directly on the individual fixed asset.

The area consists of the following registration pages that have conditions that specially apply to hydroelectric plants: - Hydroelectric plant - Separate fixed assets in power plants - Acquisitions of separate fixed assets - Separate fixed assets under construction - Taxable depreciations in power plants

Note that these area requires logging in with an active connection to the tax authorities.

#### Reference account codes specifically for power companies Here is a list of account codes that are specific to power companies - 1117 Electrotechnical equipment in power companies (balance group g) - 1118 Separate fixed assets in power plants under construction - 1119 Separate fixed assets in power plants - 1218 Separate fixed assets in power plants under construction - 1219 Separate fixed assets in power plants - 1577 Natural resource tax brought forward - 2501 Payable natural resource tax, not offset - 2502 Land rent tax payable, not offset - 8301 Natural resource tax - 8302 Basic interest tax #### Tax calculation The tax calculation function contains a separate card **Payable tax for hydroelectric power plants**. This function retrieves values from tax calculations carried out by the Tax Administration, which are shown on the separate card **Tax calculation from the Skatteetaten**. At the bottom of this tab, accounting for tax expense is shown, where accounts entered show the desired tax amount, and automatic postings will adjust the account balance to match the amounts entered.

It is possible to override which tax cost is to be posted, so that you can have the tax cost that you have calculated posted in cases where the annual accounts have already been submitted.

Hydroelectric plant /periodandyear/help/taxation/impersonal/information/basis-values/hydroelectrical-plant/hydroelectric-plant page 2024-09-20T08:09:24+02:00 # Hydroelectric plant In **Year-end closing - Information and tax - Information - Basis values** - you will find the work area for **Hydroelectric plant.** The area is activated by selecting \'Hydroelectric plant\' from **Edit feature areas.** The power plant overview contains a summary of calculated values from the property tax base, natural resource tax and ground rent income before and after coordination with other group companies. #### Coordination of ground rent income in the group The power plant overview contains registration of coordination with other companies in the group, and values registered have an effect on the final coordinated ground rent income. #### Hydroelectric plant This menu item contains a list of hydroelectric plants, and these are created by clicking on the plus icon in the upper right. Two different types of hydropower plants can be created here: - With rent income (10,000+ kVA) - Without rent income (\< 10,000 kVA) Hydropower plants without ground rent income : These power plants may have associated special operating assets in power plants. : Other tax-related depreciation can also be linked to the hydropower plant, and will be included as part of the property tax basis and the asset calculation for the power plant. Balance depreciation in balance groups a, c, d and g will be included as asset value of the power plant if they are linked to a power plant, and will otherwise be included as assets from the balance groups, as in other companies if they are not linked to a power plant. : The property tax base and asset value are calculated from the tax-depreciated value of the special operating assets in the power plant. Hydroelectric plant with ground rent income : These are power plants that calculate ground rent income and natural resource tax. Property tax base and asset values are calculated according to the special rules for the present value of calculated future cash flows according to the rules in the Tax Act. Calculation of values for power companies : Calculations of these values are made technically by submitting values to the Tax Administrations calculation functions, and making use of the Tax Administrations calculations of all the different calculated fields for power companies. This also requires that you log in to the Tax Administration functions within the program to identify yourself. #### Ground rent income Ground rent income is on a separate tab in **Ground rent income** at the individual hydroelectric plant. Specification of gross rent income : Total annual production is recorded under the power plant information. Other data is recorded on a separate tab **Ground rent income** with the exception of power delivered in accordance with contract and profit from the realization of special fixed assets used in power production. Contract income : Power delivered according to contract is registered on separate tab **Contract revenue** at the individual power plant. Contract income is an overview per contract, and here it is possible to import data from Excel. :

Import from Excel

The import button can be found at the top right, to the left of the plus button for creating a new power plant. By pressing the import button, a dialog appears where you can download an Excel template for this import function. It is necessary to use this Excel template to import data.

When importing, there are two choices:

(1) Add imported data to the existing content and (2) Delete existing data and replace it with imported data.

Profit from the realization of special fixed assets used in power production : Amounts are calculated automatically by the Tax Administration on the basis of data on special operating assets in power plants. Specification of deductions in ground rent income : Deductions in ground rent income consist of both data that is registered and data that is calculated by the Tax Administration on the basis of other data from the client\'s business specification and tax return. Some calculations are commented on below. Tax-related depreciation of fixed assets used in power production : These are depreciation both on special operating assets in power plants and other tax-related depreciation (balance depreciation and linear depreciation otherwise). These are depreciations on the elements that are not directly deducted from the ground rent income at the time of investment. Loss on realization of a special fixed asset used in power production : Amounts are calculated automatically by the Tax Administration on the basis of data on special operating assets in power plants. Investment cost related to power production : These are elements that are stated as directly deducted from the ground rent income at the time of investment both on special operating assets in power plants and other tax-related depreciation (balance depreciation and linear depreciation otherwise). This year\'s calculated corporation tax on business subject to ground rent : Amounts are calculated automatically by the Tax Administration on the basis of data on business specification and tax return. This year\'s application of carried forward calculated negative corporation tax : Amounts are calculated automatically by the Tax Administration on the basis of data on business specification and tax return Carry forward negative ground rent income from before 2007 : Value carried forward from previous years must be registered here, while interest and application to deductions in positive ground rent income is calculated by the Tax Administrationy and automatically entered into the registration form. Calculated company tax and calculated negative company tax to carry forward : Calculations of calculated fields are obtained from the Tax Administration calculations, and are obtained from the Tax Administration calculation functions. #### Natural resource tax Natural resource tax is on a separate tab in **Natural resource tax** at the individual hydroelectric plant. Values from previous years are taken from tax returns from previous years, and can also be registered manually. Distribution of municipalities is done by registering a distribution key between the municipalities. Distribution keys can be any number, and are distributed based on the municipality\'s distribution key divided by the total distribution key for all municipalities if there are more than one municipality. It is not necessary to register a distribution key if there is only one municipality in the list. #### Wealth/property tax Basis for calculation specifies gross sales revenue for the current year, and sums up deductions for costs and ground rent tax. Gross sales revenue, gross operating costs and deductions for ground rent tax from the previous four years are taken from the previous year\'s tax return, and are not specified beyond this (new from 2023). The present value calculation itself is carried out by the Tax administration, and is entered in Period & Year from the Tax Administrations calculations. The present value of future replacement costs appears as the sum of values from the following objects linked to the power plant: - Separate operating assets in power plants, value of the individual acquisition - Balance depreciation See [](https://www.skatteetaten.no/bedrift-og-organisasjon/skatt/skattemelding-naringsdrivende/ny-skattemelding/poster-felter-og-temaer/)[Items, fields and topics in the new tax return for businesses](https://www.skatteetaten.no/bedrift-og-organisasjon/skatt/skattemelding-naringsdrivende/selskap/poster-felter-og-temaer/) for more information.

The area is activated by selecting \'Hydroelectric plant\' from **Edit feature areas.**

Note that the area requires logging in with an active connection to the Tax Administration.

Separate fixed assets in power companies consist of the following structures: - Fixed asset - Acquisitions related to the fixed asset The fixed asset contains information about the municipality and whether the investment cost is directly expensed in ground rent taxation. If a fixed asset is to have varying information about it, it must be split into several fixed assets. Disposal is registered on the fixed asset itself and not on the acquisitions. All investments are placed on the acquisition object, which is an underlying object of the fixed asset. The fixed asset also contains a separate profit and loss account, which is also included in the calculation of temporary differences. Fixed asset register : It is possible to register acquisitions of fixed assets in power companies in the **Fixed assets register**. In such cases, it is indicated that there is a \'Separate fixed assets in power plants\', and the desired parameters are registered. Acquisitions of separate fixed assets : This menu gives you the following options: : 1\. Import to Excel : 2\. Export to Excel : 3\. Filtered view : Filtering can be done on: : 1\. Power plant : 2\. Construction equipment : 3\. Base rate treatment : 4\. Acquisition year : There is a spreadsheet template for importing both new special fixed assets and acquisitions of existing special fixed assets in power companies. : There is an export function for this too, where export is made in the same format as import, so that you can export data, then modify data and import data again. :

The import function allows you to add:

1. Separate operating assets in power plants

2. Acquisition of a new or existing special operating asset in a power plant

This is a registration that is made in order to get the tax value included in the calculation of temporary differences. There is a separate menu item for this. Value 01.01. is not used for anything other than information. They are included in the calculation of the tax value of temporary differences per 01.01., but values here are normally already overridden when transferring to the new year.

#### Balance depreciation Balance depreciation : Balance depreciation, ordinary straight-line depreciation and non-depreciable tax fixed assets all have power plant information for fixed assets belonging to power plants. : Each depreciation object (e.g. a balance in balance depreciation) has a tick for the fact that it applies to hydropower plants, where you can tick this off. If this object concerns hydropower plants, there is also information about: : - Investment directly expensed in ground rent taxation : If you have investments that are both directly expensed and that are depreciated in the ordinary course of basic income taxation, you must divide them into two different balances. This also applies to cumulative balances, e.g. balance group d. : - Power plant : Here you choose which power station the object belongs to. If you have several power plants, you must have a balance for each of the power plants, also on aggregate balances such as e.g. balance group d. : - Is a fixed asset under construction (Choice Yes/No, where No is the default value) : - Calculated fields that are calculated by the Norwegian Tax Agency and read into the depreciation object: - This year\'s exempt income - Present value of future replacement costs Consumer price index-adjusted investment cost - Consumer price index-adjusted investment cost - Remaining life - Part of the year\'s investment cost that is directly expensed in ground rent income (registered). Balance depreciation etc. in power companies : There is a separate menu with an overview of all balance depreciation in the company, where you can see the special power plant fields. In this screen, you can filter on power plants and on basic interest treatment. : In this menu, you can export the existing balance depreciation, make adjustments to these in Excel, and import data back. You can choose to import everything, or only import data that applies to the specific power plant fields. : It is also possible to import data from Excel without performing an export first. In such cases, a template is used for import which is displayed for download when the import function is selected. #### Fixed asset register Separate operating assets in power companies acquired in previous years : Fixed assets that are of the type special fixed asset in power companies do not have an indication/link to fixed asset if it was acquired in previous years. : Access from previous years must be registered in the fixed asset register without reference to which specific fixed asset this belongs to. In order to update a special fixed asset in a power plant, you must therefore register previous years\' acquisitions in two places, both in the asset catalog and in an overview of acquisitions for a special fixed asset in a power company. : Any disposal of such a fixed asset must be registered both in the fixed assets register and in special fixed assets in power companies. Access/improvement to Separate fixed assets in power plants acquired in the current year : A special fixed asset in a power plant consists of a main fixed asset and one or more acquisitions of these. The fixed asset register can only enter references to a main operating asset that already exists. New operating assets must therefore first be registered in an overview of special fixed assets in power plants. After this has been done, you can enter the year\'s expenses for these. : The year\'s access can, if desired, if you use the fixed asset register in Period & Year, be registered in the fixed asset register and linked to the operating asset, so that it is only registered in one place. : If an access is deleted in the fixed asset register, it will also be deleted as an acquisition in the special fixed asset in the power company. The import function in the fixed asset register : In the case of imports into the fixed asset register, there is only support for imports of acquisitions in previous financial years. When importing this year\'s acquisitions, the following applies: : - The acquisition is marked with **Accounting presentation**. - The acquisition must also be imported in the function for importing acquisitions for special fixed assets in power companies.

When importing this year\'s acquisitions, the following applies: : The acquisition is marked with **Accounting presentation**. : The acquisition must also be imported in the function for importing acquisitions for special fixed assets in power companies. Contract income in ground rent income : There is a spreadsheet template for importing contract income, which makes it easier if you have a certain amount of these. This can be found at the individual power plant on the separate **Contract income** tab. Acquisitions of special fixed assets : There is a spreadsheet template for importing both new special fixed assets and acquisitions of existing special fixed assets in power companies. : There is an export function for this too, where export is made in the same format as import, so that you can export data, then modify data and import data again.
