Impact of the windfall profit tax on royalty owners

Journal Article · · Oil Gas Tax Q.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5288720

The tax rates imposed on independent oil and gas producers, integrated producers, and royalty owners are examined to show that the Windfall Profits Tax affects royalty owners just as severely as (and in some cases, more adversely than) it does producers. Even though royalty owners do not calculate and pay the tax directly, some basic knowledge is important. Qualified royalty owners should make sure to file Form 6783 with the purchaser or entity withholding the tax so that a quicker return for the daily exemption can be achieved. The proper deduction of the tax on the individual tax return in relation to the depletion allowances can save time and money. 16 references.
