Country Report
Australia upstream fiscal summary
Report summary
Upstream licences are awarded under concession terms through the licensing rounds and direct negotiation. For onshore projects (under State jurisdiction) royalty rates vary from 10% to 12.5% depending on which State the block is located in. Excise duties can range from 0%-55% for oil and condensate, with an exemption for the first 30 million barrels produced. Offshore projects located more than three nautical miles from the baseline (under Federal jurisdiction) are exempt from royalties and excise duties. For both, onshore and offshore projects, there is no government equity participation; Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) at a rate of 40% is payable for offshore projects; corporate income tax at a rate of 30% is payable for both.
