Congressional hearings on the different treatments accorded various taxpayers with respect to intangible drilling cost deductions, the percentage depletion deduction, and certain benefits available to independent oil and gas producers and the Supreme Court ruling that the windfall profits tax is constitutional indicate that the current petroleum tax system remains controversial and unsettled. It is time for the energy industry and Congress to reconcile their differences and make a cooperative effort to develop a new tax system that strengthens domestic energy security while still achieving tax revenue objectives. A three-step approach would be to repeal the windfall profits tax, allow all costs to be aggregated and amortized under an Accelerated Cost recovery system, and treat landowner royalties as long-term capital gains income.
