The Taxation of Petroleum and Minerals: Principles, Problems and Practice

Author:

International Monetary Fund (IMF)

Price: £115.00

A new publication dealing with one of the most pressing and fundamental features of the global economy - the tax treatment of oil, gas and minerals.

There are few areas of economic policy-making in which the returns to good decisions are so high - and the punishment of bad decisions so cruel - as in the management of natural resource wealth. Rich endowments of oil, gas and minerals have set some countries on courses of sustained and robust prosperity; but they have left others riddled with corruption and persistent poverty, with little of lasting value to show for squandered wealth. Amongst the most important of these decisions are those relating to the tax treatment of oil, gas and minerals.

This critical new publication will be of interest to Economics postgraduates and researchers working on resource issues, as well as professionals working on taxation of oil, gas and minerals/mining.

Key features:

• New publication from the leading global authority on monetary affairs

• An essential guide to one of the most pressing issues of today's global economy

• Broad appeal in the fields of economics, taxation and development studies
