This paper discusses taxation of coal itself (as opposed to actual mine operation) as applied to property acquisition (depletion, purchase, lease), exploration (expenditures capitalized or deducted), development (expenditures to delineate deducted currently or amortized), production (gain to owner-lessor, severance tax), and reclamation (accrual of imposed expenditures ), and explores certain tax saving decisions vis-a-vis mining engineers. Tax incentives created by the US government encourage energy companies to transfer technology and resources from natural gas and petroleum to coal. Decisions throughout a mine life cycle can at times depend on tax stipulations.
