Petroleum operations in Somalia are regulated and taxed under three different administrative authorities: Somalia (Federal), Somaliland, and the semi-autonomous region of Puntland. Production sharing contract terms (PSCs) are awarded in all three regions having the same fiscal term elements (consisting primarily of royalties, profit share, and income tax), but rates and structure vary by regime. The federal government enacted a petroleum law in 2020, which includes a revenue sharing agreement between the government and the states. The law created the Somali National Oil Company (SONOC) and authorised the federal government to exclusively grant petroleum licenses, a prerogative which is challenged by Somaliland and Puntland. Given the continuing uncertainty, we provide a summary of licensing from the three administrative authorities.
