What is the 25% gas resource tax proposal?

The proposal applies a 25% levy to physical extraction volume multiplied by benchmark pricing, with no deductibility against company income tax.

Why focus on gas and other physical resources?

Physical extraction is measurable and harder to manipulate than profit-based tax bases, making it easier to administer and audit.

Because the levy is indexed to benchmark prices, collections move with market prices rather than relying on discretionary policy changes.
