Overview of Fiscal measures
Energy and Energy Related Tax regime
Measure
Increase in the threshold for the imposition of the Supplemental Petroleum Tax (SPT) for small onshore oil
producers to US$75 per barrel. Similar incentives to be done for small offshore producers.
Commentary
SPT was originally introduced as a windfall tax so that it is only applicable when oil prices reached or exceeded
US$50 a barrel. Under its current structure, SPT is levied on revenue and not profit thus, as soon as prices
average above US$50 per barrel in a quarter SPT becomes payable. The small independent petroleum
companies who operate under farmouts/lease operatorships with very narrow profit margins have been
vociferous about their level of dissatisfaction with the current structure of the SPT regime highlighting that the
SPT is a disincentive and they have better cash flows when prices average under US$50 per barrel rather than
when they are in the US$50-60 per barrel range.
