Upstream licences are awarded under concession terms which are fixed by legislation. Only general corporate income tax of 30.62% applies in the upstream. The fiscal terms are very unstable with corporate income tax changes implemented almost every year. However, since 2012 the CIT rate has been steadily decreasing. Given high domestic needs relative to supply, all production is required to be sold domestically.
