Petroleum taxation is the universal instrument through which governments seek to determine the crucial balance between the financial interests of the oil companies and the owners of the resource. This book addresses how governments have and continue to approach this problem, the impacts of different policy choices and how these are being adapted to changing business conditions. Carole Nakhle presents the reader with an illuminating and robust analysis of the entire taxation story, from the basic theoretical considerations through to advanced computations applied to various tax regimes | Petroleum Taxation Sharing the oil wealth a study of petroleum taxation yesterday today and tomorrow Carole Nakhle Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy Petroleum Taxation Petroleum taxation is the universal instrument through which governments seek to determine the crucial balance between the financial interests of the oil companies and the owners of the resource. This book addresses how governments have and continue to approach this problem the impacts of different policy choices and how these are being adapted to changing business conditions. Carole Nakhle presents the reader with an illuminating and robust analysis of the entire taxation story from the basic theoretical considerations through to advanced computations applied to various tax regimes. Nakhle s main argument is that petroleum taxation is a subject of complexity variety and exposed to continued evolution being surrounded and shaped by multifaceted geological technical and market factors together with unpredictable political influences. The author challenges the assumption that perfect models of petroleum taxation can be designed and applied to countries and circumstances around the world arguing that an ideal structure exists only in theory but can be nonetheless a useful benchmark against which to test proposed fiscal systems. This book will be of world-wide interest to practitioners and policy makers directly engaged with petroleum taxation as well as students and researchers interested in energy economics policy and public finance. Carole Nakhle is Energy Research Fellow at the Surrey Energy Economics Centre University of Surrey and also acts as Special Parliamentary Adviser on Energy and Middle Eastern Issues in the House of Lords.
