Russian upstream taxation – room for manoeuvre?
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
Tax changes in effect from 1 January 2015 were designed to promote modernisation of Russian refining, harmonise oil taxes in the Eurasian Economic Union, protect the oil and gas sector contribution to the Russian federal budget, and ensure development of frontier and hard-to-recover oil continues. In the low oil price environment, however, most Russian upstream companies will face higher tax payments. Only a handful of projects will benefit, most notably Gazprom’s East Siberian gas fields.
