Void, Gov are crafty, talking about fuel security, handing back money to the big boys who can invest, while making it tougher for small oil and gas producers.
If your a small oil and gas company making a small profit after tax of say £250k, to maintain that profit in order to build cash for future investment, you have to be a magician..
Before The big boys huge profits, tax was 40% then it increased to 65%, and soon 75%..
So for £250K
AT 40% tax, you need to make £415k, thats £166k to gov, keeping £249K
at 65% tax, £715K, £465 to gov, keeping £250
75% tax, £1m, £750k to gov, keeping £250k
Not being an accountant not sure thats correct, but its 75% for Gov, and 25% the company.
Almost nationalization ..
