Italy upstream fiscal summary

Report summary

Italy’s upstream licences are awarded under concession terms. The main elements are a royalty and corporate income tax. There is also a regional income tax applied to onshore operations. The royalty rate depends on the permit location and hydrocarbon type. An initial volume of production is exempt from royalty each year. Corporate income tax changes have been implemented by the government on a regular basis. Companies can apply for available acreage at any time and there is no state participation.
