  • CRUDE OIL "WINDFALL PROFI'r" TAX ACT of 1980
    CRUDE OIL "WINDFALL PROFI'r" TAX ACT OF 1980 john S. Logan* I. INTRODUCTION This article provides an overview of the so-called "windfall profit" tax on crude oil and focuses primarily on the administrative problems and com- pliance planning opportunities which have come to light in the few months that the tax has been in effect. President Carter signed the Crude Oil Windfall Profit Tax Act of 1980' on April 3, 1980. The new "windfall profit" tax applies to first sales of domestic crude oil removed after February 29, 1980. As a result, producers have suffered an immediate reduction in crude oil receipts because first pur- chasers, who in many cases are refiners, have been required to withhold the tax from the purchase price. 'rhe statute does not provide an exemption for independent producers. Rather, independent producers are subject to a lower tax rate for certain categories of oil termed "independent producer crude oil." The "windfall profits" tax-which is not based on profits, but is an excise tax on a portion of domestic crude oil revenues2-is tied to the removal of existing price controls on domestic crude oil. The tax will obtain for the federal government a substantial portion of the additional crude oil revenues resulting from the lifting of price controls and the rising world market price for crude oil. In general, the tax is levied on the mislabeled "windfall profit" -the difference between the first sale price of a barrel of oil and a statu- torily-defined adjusted base price considerably below prevailing market levels, with an additional adjustment for certain state severance taxes on the "windfall profit" element.

Digitized from Box 8 of The Ron Nessen Papers at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library 14 FISCAL EFFECT Q. Some critics say that on balance the proposed economic program will have a negative fiscal impact. What do you say? A. The net fiscal impact of the proposed energy taxes, the return of the energy revenues to the economy, and the temporary tax cut would be positive during 1975. These measures taken together would result in a $5,.• 7 billion stimulus in the third quarter, and would continue to be positive throughout 1975. .. ' 15 FINANCIAL MARKETS Q. Can the large Federal budget deficits in the next 18 months be financed through borrowing by the Treasury without straining financial markets and raising interest rates? A. We believe that the deficits can be financed without undue strain because private credit demands typically decline sharply during a recession and remain low until recovery is well under way.

  • Venezuela's Oil and Gas Tax Regime 委内瑞拉石油及天然气的税收制度
    Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Tax Regime 委内瑞拉石油及天然气的税收制度 Despite possessing the world’s largest proven oil reserves, Venezuela ranks eighth among oil exporters. This has led the government of Venezuela to call for additional investment to increase both output (estimates suggest that 300 billion barrels can be extracted from the Orinoco Oil Belt) and the quality of oil through upgrading technology. The special tax regime described in this article is seen by the government of Venezuela as a mechanism to attract foreign investment to boost production, modernize gas and oil infrastructure and cover the country’s needs in connection with engineering, construction, procurement and engineering-related services. 尽管拥有世界上已探明的最大石油储藏，委内瑞拉的石油出口在全球仅排名第八。为增加产量（估计表明奥里诺科 石油带 300 十亿桶则可将提取出来）并且通过技术升级提高石油的质量，该国政府最近正加强提高投资。在这篇文 章中描述的特殊税务制度是由委内瑞拉政府作为一个以吸引外国投资、提高产量、气体和石油基础设施的现代化并 且覆盖国家需要的工程、施工、采购以及和工程有关的服务的机制。 Under Venezuela’s Hydrocarbons Law, all activities relating to the exploration of hydrocarbon reservoirs, the extraction, collection and initial transportation and storage of the same are exclusively reserved for the government of Venezuela. However, private entities may undertake such activities through joint venture companies (empresas mixtas, or MCs) controlled by the government through an equity stake exceeding 50%. MCs that carry out oil and gas related activities in Venezuela are subject to a royalty (regalía) levied at a 30% rate on the volume of extracted hydrocarbons, which must be paid in kind or in cash, at the option of the Venezuelan government. The Venezuelan government is entitled to reduce the 30% rate to 20% for mature reservoirs and extra-heavy crude oil originating from the Orinoco Belt. Venezuelan law caps the price for calculating the royalty at USD 70 per barrel.
