Nice buying dip.

Lliance News) - The UK government has announced it will remove the windfall tax on oil and gas companies should the price of the commodities continue to fall.

Ministers said that they would slash the current 75% tax on North Sea oil and gas profits back to its regular 40% if prices reach certain levels.

They said they would take the move if the average price of oil fell to or below USD71.40 per barrel for two consecutive quarters, and the average price of gas fell to under 54 pence.

On Friday morning Brent crude oil was trading at USD75.38 per barrel. UK gas prices were at around 64p per therm.

The windfall tax was first announced a year ago to ensure that oil and gas companies were paying what they owe and not benefiting unduly from Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine.

Oil and gas prices soared after the Russian president launched a full-scale invasion, bent on taking Kyiv in just three days.

But well over a year later Ukraine is now pushing to take back the territory it lost in the early days of the war, which started in 2014.

The government said that the windfall tax will remain in place until 2028 as previously planned unless oil and gas prices fall to the levels needed for it to be revoked.

It said that the tax had so far raised GBP2.8 billion since being implemented.

"While the levy included an investment allowance to encourage firms to continue to invest in oil and gas extraction in the UK, industry has warned that companies are cutting back on investment," the government said.

"This puts the long-term future of the UK's domestic supply at risk, meaning we would be forced to import more from abroad at a time when reliable and affordable energy is a focus for families and businesses."

It said that the tax will not be removed before 2028 if the Office for Budget Responsibility's energy price forecasts are accurate.

It was leaked yesterday by a minion and hence the uplift then and the print version today and when Hunt announces it HBR should rocket - depending what he says.

The Linda Mex merger hints maybe woke up the woke politicians.

Our ten biggest clients achieved "whopper" status in 2022 (i.e. over $20 million of revenue), compared with six this time last year, but we still search for bigger and deeper relationships, and a further fourteen clients, have been identied as having "whopper" potential over the three year plan period 2023-25. Our objective remains 20 in total. Since our last AGM we have seen the expansion of our major client relationships, with additional assignments and geographies. We also saw signicant new business with engagements from new clients including Philips, Diageo, Pepsico, Booking.com, Tim Horton's, Pernod Ricard, TikTok, Bridgestone, Riot Games, M1, Walmart and Microsoft.

Trimmed a bit here too, you got to.

Not at all TC, trimmed to re-add

234 196 open seems to be heading towards 220p again

Adding on any weakness for dividends.

Not sure where Morning Star got this from as inflows were 0.4bn

UBS estimates net fund flows of ??????? £4.4bn

Agree with u on this one TC, lower lows but £1 seems a great buy in.

Still a good price to add for future gains at the 70p level?

C&C Group is a FTSE 250 company headquartered in Dublin and is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

A special dividend would be nice once the debt is cleared.

Going Up!

OT

For being in the know IsleworthSpy, what is the latest on the ballot? The CWU statements seem ambiguous and not supported by the % of the posters on the feed.

So is it action being called off and the payrise being excepted for now?

or happening as per the plan once the talks with RM bear fruit (thinking Fig leaf) ?

or being voted down once presented, regardless of the CWU votes?

What is the general feeling to the outcome?

"I don’t need to justify paper losses because they aren’t in the slightest bit important to me."

Well said, you and I both.

Many a paper loss has turned into a handsome profit by doing nothing more than holding or adding and then holding.

Case in point is 888 from - 28% to a 2+ bagger.

IDS will soon do a 30% up week. When not if?

Had a look at the militants posting on the CWU twitter feed. Certainly does not seem representative at all.

Pleasant evening.

Half uk companies will be snapped u... mng spt rnk to name a few.

Did Deutsche say which day next week we would see the 145p :)

TerryMC1

Didn't you try that line yesterday too?

Seems they are being too kind to the shorters and letting them out in a managed way. Have expecte140p before retracement and a mad spike to 170p as the fever grips.
