Germany uses a concessionary fiscal regime with royalty, corporate income tax and regional income taxes. Germany has modest levels of oil and gas production which is reflected in the relatively simple structure of hydrocarbon taxation. Royalty and municipal tax rates vary significantly between states. This type of tax is expected to be phased out or replaced in line with EU policy. There are no formal licensing rounds for either onshore or offshore sectors.
