The Taxation of Petroleum and Minerals: Principles, Problems and Practice/ Edited by Philip Daniel, Michael Keen and Charles Mcpherson The Taxation of Petroleum and Minerals There are few areas of economic policy-making in which the returns to good decisions are so high – and the punishment of bad decisions so cruel – as in the management of natural resource wealth. Rich endowments of oil, gas and minerals have set some coun- tries on courses of sustained and robust prosperity; but they have left others riddled with corruption and persistent poverty, with little of lasting value to show for squandered wealth. And amongst the most important of these decisions are those relating to the tax treatment of oil, gas and minerals. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible account of the main issues – drawing lessons from theory, describing the main features of current practice in each of these areas, and addressing the practicalities of administration – in taxing these resources. What share of the proceeds from the extraction of these resources should governments take? How can investors be given the assurances in relation to tax treatment they require if they are to be willing to invest billions of dollars in projects that will last decades? To what extent, and how, should government’s tax take be sensitive to commodity prices? How can governments evaluate alternative possible tax regimes? Can, and should, auc- tions play a greater role in these sectors? What is the experience with, and potential of, innovative forms of corporate taxation in this area? Should government participate directly in exploration and extraction? These and many other key questions receive thor- ough attention. The contributions in this book – by widely- respected experts drawn from the interna- tional institutions, academe and the private sector – provide a guide to past experiences and current thinking, as well as some new ideas on profits tax design, that is not only readable, but detailed enough to inform practical decision-making and to bring research- ers to the frontiers of the topic. This book will be of interest to economics postgraduates and researchers working on resource issues, as well as professionals working on taxation of oil, gas and minerals/mining.

The arrangements for taxing alcohol in Australia are complex and have evolved over many years. Alcohol is taxed on either a volume or a value basis, with a range of effective tax rates applying depending on the type of beverage and packaging, alcohol strength, place of manufacture and the method or scale of production. Consistent with the PBO’s mandate, the report presents a factual analysis and does not include policy recommendations. It is intended to help inform discussion of this important public policy issue.

  • Oil Companies in Nigeria
    THE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL OIL COMPANIES IN NIGERIA: The Effect of Fiscal Taxation and the Separation of Ownership and Control CORNELIUS BABATUNDE ALALADE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Bournemouth University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2004 BEST CO" AVAILABLE ABSTRACT Name of Author: Cornelius Babatunde Alalade Title of the Investigation: THE ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE OF INTERNATIONAL OIL COMPANIES IN NIGERIA: The Effect of Fiscal Taxation and the Separation of Ownership and Control. This research investigates the tax policies of the Nigerian government and the separation of ownership and control and the possibility that they impact on the economic performance of the international oil companies operating in Nigeria. The key areas of the research include a literature review which concentrates on both shareholder and stakeholder theories in corporate governance and on the separation of ownership and control. The literature review is also on government control mechanisms, including state ownership of corporations and taxation. Another key part of this research is the investigation of the relationship between types of contract between host government and the operating companies, and the companies' economic performance in relation to contract type. The second part of this research examines the relationship between the variables representing fiscal taxation and those representing economic performance. Given that there are essentially two types of contracts operating in Nigeria's oil and gas exploitation business, that is, Joint Venture (JV) and Production Sharing Contract (PSC), these two formed the basis of the research. For the purposes of measuring economic performance, the ii for unit cost of production and gross margin per barrel were chosen as the variables measuring the impact of the separationof ownership and control and the impact of fiscal taxation on the economic performanceof the operatingcompanies.

First, in each of the colonies, it identifies the starting points for the first tariffs, first preferences, and other features and the turning points in the levels of tariffs. It then constructs time series of the average tariff levels in the individual colonies and an average for All Six Colonies Combined. The conclusion notes general features of the pattern of tariffs and how the main features of colonial tariffs carried over to the Commonwealth Customs Tariff in the 20th century. Keywords: colonies, average tariff rates, tariff revenue, protection JEL Code: N1, F13 Acknowledgements. I would like to thank --- Short running title: The First 100 Years of Tariffs in the Australian Colonies 3 1.
