Petroleum Revenue Tax

Restriction of expenditure supplement.
111
1
Expenditure taken into account under section 2(9) (b)(i) or (c)(i) of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 (“the principal Act”) in computing the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to a participator in a chargeable period from an oil field shall not qualify for supplement under section 2(9)(b)(ii) or (c)(ii) of that Act if it is incurred after the end of the chargeable period (“the net profit period”) which is the earliest chargeable period ending after a development decision has been made for the field in which—
a
the amount of oil won and saved from the field exceeds 1,000 metric tonnes (counting 1,100 cubic metres of gas at a temperature of 15 degrees centigrade and pressure of one atmosphere as equilavent to one metric tonne); and
b
a net profit from the field accrues to the participator;
and subsection (7) of section 5A of the principal Act (time when development decision is made) shall apply for the purposes of this subsection as it applies for the purposes of subsection (1)(c) of that section.
2
Subject to subsections (3) and (4) below, a net profit shall be treated as having accrued to a participator from an oil field in a chargeable period when the total assessable profits (without any reduction under section 7 or 8 of the principal Act) that have accrued to him from the field in chargeable periods up to and including that period exceed the aggregate of the total allowable losses that have so accrued to him and the total amount of advance petroleum revenue tax paid by him in respect of that field for chargeable periods up to and including that period.
2A
For the purposes of subsection (2) above the total amount of advance petroleum revenue tax paid by the participator does not include any amount of that tax repaid to him before the end of the chargeable period first referred to in that subsection or any amount of that tax subsequently repaid to him under section 142(1) of the Finance Act 1982 or under paragraph 9 of Schedule 19 to that Act.
3
In determining for the purposes of subsection (2) above whether any, and if so what, assessable profit or allowable loss has accrued to a participator from an oil field in a chargeable period—
a
there shall be excluded from its computation any expenditure allowed under Schedule 7 and any loss allowed under Schedule 8 to the principal Act (abortive exploration expenditure exploration and appraisal expenditure and unrelievable field losses);
b
any election under paragraph 9(1) of Schedule 3 to that Act (spreading of allowable expenditure) shall be disregarded; and
c
in the case of the last chargeable period taken into account in deciding what is the net profit period there shall be included in that computation any amount which, by reason of an adjustment under section 4(9) of that Act (long-term assets) for a claim period ending not later than that period, will fall to be taken into account under paragraph 6 of Schedule 4 to that Act for the next chargeable period and
d
if any qualifying tariff receipts, within the meaning of section 9 of the Oil Taxation Act 1983, are received or receivable by the participator for that period, any amount by which those receipts are treated as reduced by virtue of that section shall be brought into account in that computation as an addition to the positive amounts referred to in section 2(3)(a) of the principal Act.
4
A net profit shall not by virtue of subsection (2) above be treated as having accrued to a participator from an oil field in a chargeable period if—
a
after an assessment or determination has been made in respect of that period under paragraph 10 of Schedule 2 to the principal Act any expenditure incurred before the end period is allowed on a claim under Schedule 5 or Schedule 6 to that Act; and
b
a net profit would not have accrued to the participator from the field in that period if that expenditure (or, as respects expenditure allowed under Schedule 5, his share of it) had been taken into account in the assessment or determination together with any amount falling to be taken into account under section 2(9)(b)(ii) or (c)(ii) of the principal Act by reference to (or, as the case may be, to his share of) that expenditure.
5
The expenditure referred to in subsection (4) above does not include expenditure allowed for any claim period beginning after the chargeable period in respect of which the assessment or determination was made.
6
In the following provisions, that is to say—
a
paragraphs 2(4)(a) and 3(1)(b) of Schedule 5 to the principal Act (claims for and determination of expenditure qualifying for supplement), including those paragraphs as applied by Schedule 6 to that Act;
b
paragraph 2(4)(b) of the Schedule to the Petroleum Revenue Tax Act 1980 (computation of payment on account),
references to expenditure qualifying for supplement shall include references to expenditure that would so qualify apart from this section; but the responsible person need not make a claim under paragraph 2(4)(a) of the said Schedule 5 if it appears to him that none of the expenditure is likely to qualify because of this section.
7
This section applies whether the net profit period ends before or after the passing of this Act but subsection (1) above shall not disqualify any expenditure which was incurred before 1st January 1981 or which is incurred before 1st January 1983 in pursuance of a contract entered into before 1st January 1981.

Restriction of expenditure supplement: transfers of interest.
112
1
Section 111 above shall have effect in accordance with this section where a participator in an oil field has acquired the whole or part of his interest in the field as a result of one or more transfers to him within the meaning of Schedule 17 to the Finance Act 1980, and in this section “the new participator and the “the old participator” mean respectively the first-mentioned participator and any participator from whom he has acquired the whole or part of his interest.
2
The new participator’s net profit period shall be whichever is the earlier of—
a
his own net profit period as determined in accordance with section 111 above and subsections (3) and (4) below; or
b
subject to subsection (5) below, the chargeable period which is the net profit period of the old participator or, if there are two or more old participators, of whichever of them has the earliest net profit period.
3
Where the old participator has transferred the whole of his interest in the field to the new participator, the net profit period of the new participator shall be determined by treating as if they were his the total assessable profits and allowable losses of the old participator as determined for the purposes of section 111 above.
4
Where the old participator has transferred part of his interest in the field to the new participator, the net profit period of the old and new participators shall be determined by treating as if they were the new participator’s and not the old participator’s such part of the total assessable profits and allowable losses of the old participator (as determined for the purposes of section 111 above) as may be just and reasonable.
4A
Subsections (2) and (2A) of section 111 shall have effect as if references to the amount of advance petroleum revenue tax paid by the new participator or repaid to him included references to the amount of that tax paid by or repaid to the old participator or, where the old participator has transferred part of his interest, such part of that amount as is just and reasonable.
5
The net profit period of an old participator shall not be taken into account under subsection (2)(b) above if the new participator’s own net profit period, as determined without reference under subsection (3) or (4) above to the old participator’s assessable profits or allowable losses, fell before the chargeable period in which the new participator acquired the whole or part of the old participator’s interest.

Restriction of expenditure supplement: loss following net profit period.
113
1
This section has effect where the aggregate of—
a
the total allowable losses that have accrued to a participator from an oil field in chargeable periods up to and including a chargeable period ending not more than three years after his net profit period, and
b
the amount of advance petroleum revenue tax paid by him in respect of that field for those periods less any such tax repaid to him before the end of those periods or repaid subsequently under section 142(1) of the Finance Act 1982 or paragraph 9 of Schedule 19 to that Act,
exceeds the total assessable profits (without any reduction under section 7 or 8 of the principal Act) that have so accrued to him.
2
Section 111(1) above shall not disqualify for supplement under section 2(9)(b)(ii) or (c)(ii) of the principal Act expenditure which is incurred up to the end of—
a
the last chargeable period in the three years mentioned in subsection (1) above; or
b
the chargeable period in which a net profit next accrues to the participator from the field after the chargeable period mentioned in that subsection,
whichever is the earlier.
3
Subsection (3) of section 111 above shall apply for the purposes of subsection (1) above as it applies for the purposes of subsection (2) of that section and subsections (3), (4) and (5) of that section shall apply for the purposes of subsection (2)(b) above as they apply for the purposes of subsection (2) of that section.

Restriction of limit on amount of tax payable.
114
1
For section 9 of the principal Act (annual limit on amount of tax payable by participator) there shall be substituted—
9
1
The tax payable by a participator in an oil field for any chargeable period to which this subsection applies shall not exceed 80 per cent. of the amount (if any) by which his adjusted profit for that period (as defined in this section) exceeds 15 per cent. of his accumulated capital expenditure at the end of that period (as so defined).
1A
Subsection (1) above applies to—
a
any chargeable period from the first chargeable period up to and including the period which is the participator’s net profit period for the field for the purposes of section 111 of the Finance Act 1981 or where section 113 of that Act applies, up to and including the earlier of the periods mentioned in subsection (2) of that section; and
b
any subsequent chargeable period up to such number of periods as is equal to half the number of chargeable periods included in paragraph (a) above (counting any resulting fraction of a period as a whole period).
2
The adjusted profit of a participator in an oil field for any chargeable period shall be determined as follows—
a
there shall be ascertained—
i
the assessable profit (without any reduction under section 7 or 8 of this Act) or allowable loss accruing to him in that period; and
ii
the total amount taken into account under section 2(9)(b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Act in computing that profit or loss, excluding expenditure so taken into account under section 2(9)(b)(i) or (c)(i) which was not allowed as qualifying for supplement under section 2(9)(b)(ii) or (c)(ii);
b
if there is a profit under paragraph (a)(i) above, the sum of that profit and the total ascertained under paragraph (a)(ii) above is his adjusted profit for the period;
c
if there is a 1oss under paragraph (a)(i) above smaller than the total ascertained under paragraph (a)(ii) above, the difference is his adjusted profit for the period.
3
The accumulated capital expenditure of a participator in an oil field at the end of any chargeable period is the total amount of expenditure taken into account under section 2(9)(b)(i) and (c)(i) of this Act in computing the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to him in that period and all earlier chargeable periods excluding all expenditure so taken into account which was not allowed as qualifying for supplement under section 2(9)(b)(ii) or (c)(ii).
4

b
it is reasonable to expect, at the time when the contract is entered into—

Supplementary Petroleum Duty

Charge of supplementary petroleum duty.
122
1
Every participator in an oilfield shall, in accordance with this Part of this Act, be chargeable with a tax (to be known as supplementary petroleum duty) on the gross profit accruing to him from the field in any chargeable period to which this section applies.
2
The duty shall be charged at the rate of 20 per cent.
3
For the purposes of the duty the gross profit shall, except so far as otherwise provided in this Part of this Act, be determined in accordance with section
2(4) to (5A)
of the Oil Taxation Act 1975 (“the principal Act”) as for the purposes of petroleum revenue tax.
4
Any other expression used in this Part of this Act which also occurs in Part I of the principal Act shall be construed in the same way as for the purposes of that tax.
5
This section applies to the chargeable periods ending on 30th June 1981, 31st December 1981,
30th June 1982, and 31st December 1982 and to no other periods
.

Increase of gross profit by reference to royalties in kind.
123
1
This section applies where part of a participator’s share of the oil won and saved from an oil field is delivered by him in a chargeable period to the Secretary of State pursuant to a requirement imposed under the terms of a licence granted under the Petroleum (Production) Act 1934.
2
In determining for the purposes of the duty the gross profit accruing to the participator from the field in the chargeable period the aggregate of the amounts mentioned in section 2(5)(a), (b) and (c) of the principal Act shall be increased by multiplying it by a fraction of which—
a
the numerator is the total of the quantity of oil won from the field which is delivered or relevantly appropriated by him in the period including the oil delivered to the Secretary of State; and
b
the denominator is that total excluding the oil delivered to the Secretary of State.
3
Where oil is delivered pursuant to a requirement which relates to oil of one or more kinds but not to others, subsection (2) above shall apply only in relation to oil of the kind or kinds to which the requirement relates; and where oil is delivered pursuant to a requirement which specifies different proportions in relation to different kinds of oil, that subsection shall apply separately in relation to each of those kinds.
4
For the purposes of section 2(5) of the principal Act as applied by this Part of this Act the exclusion by paragraph 4 of Schedule 3 to that Act of oil delivered to the Secretary of State under the terms of a licence granted under the said Act of 1934 shall be deemed to extend to oil which is inadvertently delivered to him in excess of the amount required; and oil so delivered shall be treated for the purposes of this section as delivered pursuant to a requirement imposed under the terms of such a licence.

Reduction of gross profit by reference to exempt allowance.
124
1
For the purposes of the duty there shall be for each oilfield in each chargeable period an exempt allowance of 500,000 metric tonnes of oil divided between the participators in shares proportionate to their shares of the oil won and saved from the field during the period.
2
If the gross profit accruing to a participtor in a chargeable period from a field exceeds the cash equivalent of his share of the exempt allowance, the gross profit shall be reduced to an amount equal to the excess.
3
If the gross profit accruing to a participator in a chargeable period from a field does not exceed the cash equivalent of his share of the exempt allowance, the gross profit shall be reduced to nil.
4
Subject to subsection (5) below, the cash equivalent of a participator’s share of the exempt allowance for an oil field for a chargeable period shall be equal to such proportion of the gross profit accruing to him from the field in that period (before any reduction under this section) as his share of the exempt allowance bears to his share, exclusive of excluded oil within the meaning of section 10 of the principal Act, of the oil won and saved from the field during the period.
5
If a participator in an oil field so elects by notice in writing given to the Board at the time when he makes his return under paragraph 2 of Schedule 2 to the principal Act for a chargeable period, the cash equivalent of his share of the exempt allowance for the field for that period shall be determined under subsection (4) above—
a
to the extent that his share of that exempt allowance does not exceed his share of the oil (other than gas) won and saved from the field in the period, as if in computing the gross profit accruing to him in the period all amounts relating to gas fell to be disregarded; and
b
to the extent, if any, that his share of that allowance exceeds his share of the oil (other than gas) so won and saved, as if in computing the gross profit so accruing all amounts relating to oil other than gas fell to be disregarded.
6
In this section references to a participator’s share of the oil won and saved from a field are to his share as expressed in metric tonnes and for that purpose 1,100 cubic metres of oil consisting of gas at a temperature of 15 degrees centigrade and pressure of one atmosphere shall be counted as equivalent to one metric tonne of oil other than gas.

Repayment of duty in case of field showing loss on cessation.
125
1
Subject to the provisions of this section, the duty paid by a participator in respect of an oil field shall be repaid to him if—

b
an unrelievable field loss, within the meaning of section 6 of that Act, has accrued to the participator from the field; and
c
a claim for repayment is made under this section.
2
The amount of duty to be repaid shall not exceed the amount of the unrelievable field loss; and where duty paid by a participator in respect of an oil field is repaid under this section the amount to be taken into account under section 2(9)(e) of the principal Act as the unrelievable field loss from that field in computing the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing from another field to—
a
the participator; or
b
a company which, within the meaning of the said section 6, is associated with him in respect of the loss,
shall not be greater than the amount (if any) by which it exceeds the amount repaid.
3
If a claim for the allowance of the unrelievable field loss is made by the participator under Schedule 8 to the principal Act, the claim under this section shall be included in that claim; and in any other case the claim under this section shall be made within six years after the date of the decision mentioned in subsection (1)(a) above.
4
Sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) of paragraph 4 of the said Schedule 8 shall, with the necessary modifications, apply in relation to a claim for repayment under this section as they apply in relation to a claim under sub-paragraph (1) of that paragraph.

Deduction of duty in computing assessable profit or allowable loss for petroleum revenue tax.
126
1
For the purpose of computing under section 2 of the principal Act the assessable profit or allowable loss accruing to a participator in any chargeable period from an oil field—
a
there shall be included as a negative amount his duty debit (if any) for the period; and
b
there shall be included as a positive amount his duty credit (if any) for the period.
2
The participator’s duty debit or credit (if any) for the period is the difference (if any) between—
a
the sum of the amounts mentioned in subsection (3) below; and
b
the sum of—
i
the amount taken into account under paragraph (a) of that subsection in computing his duty debit or credit for the preceding chargeable period; and
ii
the amount of any duty repaid to him in the period in respect of the field;
and their difference (if any) is a duty debit if the sum mentioned in paragraph (a) above is greater than the sum mentioned in paragraph (b) above, and is otherwise a duty credit.
3
The amounts referred to in subsection (2)(a) above are—
a
the amount shown in the statement delivered by the participator under sub-paragraph (1)(a) of paragraph 10 of Schedule 16 to this Act as the duty payable by him under that paragraph for the period in respect of the field; and
b
the amount of duty paid in the period in respect of the field for previous chargeable periods.
4
For the purposes of subsection (3)(b) above duty for a period which is paid before the end of that period shall be treated as paid in the next chargeable period.
5
Where a participator’s liability to petroleum revenue tax has been determined by reference to an amount of duty paid by him and there is a repayment of the duty which cannot be taken into account under the foregoing provisions of this section, an additional assessment to that tax may be made at any time not later than six years after the end of the chargeable period in which the duly is repaid.
6
Paragraph 12 of Schedule 17 to the Finance Act 1980 (treatment of royalty payments where there is a transfer of an interest in an oil field) shall apply in relation to any duty debit or credit as it applies in relation to a licence debit or credit, taking references to subsection (6) of section 2 of the principal Act and paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection as references to subsection (2) above and paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection.

Deduction of duty in computing income for corporation tax.
127
1
Where a participator in an oilfield has paid any duty with which he was chargeable for a chargeable period, then, in computing for corporation tax the amount of his income arising in the relevant accounting period from oil extraction activities or oil rights, there shall be deducted an amount equal to that duty; and there shall be made all such adjustments of assessments to corporation tax as are required in order to give effect to this subsection.
2
For the Purposes of subsection (1) above the relevant accounting period, in relation to any duty paid by a company, is—
a
the accounting period of the company in or at the end of which the chargeable period for which the duty was charged ends; or
b
if that chargeable period ends after the accounting period of the company in or at the end of which the trade giving rise to the income referred to in subsection (1) above is permanently discontinued, that accounting period.
3
Subject to subsection (4) below, if some or all of the duty in respect of which a deduction has been made under subsection (1) above is subsequently repaid, that deduction shall be reduced or extinguished accordingly; and any additional assessment to corporation tax required in order to give effect to this subsection may be made at any time not later than six years after the end of the accounting period in which the duty was repaid.
4
Subsection (3) above does not apply to any repayment of duty under section 125 above but any amount of duty repaid to a person under that section shall be treated as his income for the purpose of corporation tax.
5
Where, because of a deduction made under subsection (1) above in computing for corporation tax the amount of a company’s income of any kind, the amount of advance corporation tax which can be set against the company’s liability to corporation tax for an accounting period is less than the amount of advance corporation tax which could have been set against that liability if the deduction had not been made, then, if a claim in that behalf is made by the company not later than two years after the end of that accounting period, an amount of advance corporation tax equal to the difference shall be repaid to the company.
