Yes Fulmar, essentially.
- Under the Income Tax Act, the Corporate Income Tax rate applicable to companies solely carrying out mining operations, for both metals and industrial minerals, will be 30%.
- Variable Profits Tax of up to 15% no longer applies; however there is a limitation on the deduction of losses to 50% of taxable income.
The sliding scale you refer to is the royalties.
- mining rights have not been amended, and are payable at the rate of 5% on base metals (except copper) and energy and industrial minerals, and 6% for gemstones and precious metals. Where the mineral is copper, the mineral royalty rate will be: 4% when the price of copper is less than US$4,500 per tonne; 5% where the price of copper is more than US$4,500 but less than US$6,000 per tonne; and 6% where the price of copper is more than US$6,000 per tonne
