Upstream licences in Nepal are awarded though licensing rounds under production sharing contract terms (PSCs). Within the PSC regime, there is no cost recovery ceiling and no government equity participation. Profit sharing is based upon production rates, ranging from 10% to 80% for oil and from 0% to 70% for gas in government's favor. Royalty is payable at a rate of 12.5% on gross production. Corporate income tax is payable by the contractor at a rate of 30%.
