The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the President's tax proposal on the energy sector. The study consists of two parts. The first part specifically addresses the impacts of the President's tax proposal on the oil and gas, coal, and electric utility sectors of the energy industry. Impacts were examined at both the project and corporate levels. The study focuses on proposed changes in corporate income taxation. Results show that the impacts of the President's tax proposal vary across the energy sector. Taxes levied on coal operations would rise. Those levied on oil and gas remain about the same if measured at the overall corporate level. Looking at oil and gas production operations separately from other lines of business (downstream, foreign, and subsidiary operations), taxes would tend to fall, except in the case of the small independents. Taxes paid by electric utilities would tend to fall. Within each sector, however, substantial variation among firms would be evident due to differing circumstances of corporate diversity and rate of growth. 11 figs., 38 tabs.
