Conference · · Annu Southwestern Legal Found Inst on Oil and Gas Law and Taxation Proc; (United States)
OSTI ID:6322875

Defining the producer of crude oil is important for 3 reasons. (1) The identity of the producer determines who is liable to pay the Windfall Profit Tax. (2) The tax rate applicable varies, depending upon the identity of the producer because special rates apply to certain producers and certain producers are exempt. (3) Certain administrative procedures vary, depending upon the identity of the producer; that is, certain administrative burdens are imposed upon the producer of crude oil. In addition to identifying the producer, problems are defined which arise in determining how many barrels of oil and, therefore, how much Windfall Profit is attributable to each producer. This is especially a problem in the area of net profits interests, which is discussed also.
