[14th July 2022]

Most Gracious Sovereign

W e, Your Majesty’s most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Commons of the United Kingdom in Parliament assembled, towards raising the necessary supplies to defray Your Majesty’s public expenses, and making an addition to the public revenue, have freely and voluntarily resolved to give and to grant unto Your Majesty the tax hereinafter mentioned; and do therefore most humbly beseech Your Majesty that it may be enacted, and be it enacted by the Queen’s most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

Charge to tax

1 Charge to tax

(1) If a company carries on a ring fence trade in a qualifying accounting period, a sum equal to 35% of its levy profits for that period is to be charged on the company as if it were an amount of corporation tax chargeable on it.

(2) The charge is referred to in this Act as “ energy (oil and gas) profits levy ” (or as “the levy”).

(3) A qualifying accounting period is an accounting period of a company which—

(a) begins on or after 26 May 2022, and

(b) ends on or before 31 March 2028 ,

(but see also sections 15 and 16 for provision about a case where a company’s accounting period straddles either of those dates).

(4) A company’s levy profits or loss for a qualifying accounting period are the amount which, on the following assumptions, would be determined for corporation tax purposes to be the company’s ring fence profits or loss for that period.

(5) The assumptions are that—

(a) the company has incurred such additional expenditure (if any) in that period as is provided for by section 2 (3) ,

(b) that additional expenditure is allowable as a deduction in calculating the amount of the profits or loss of any ring fence trade of the company for the period,

(c) financing costs and decommissioning costs are left out of account in calculating the amount of the profits or loss of any ring fence trade of the company for the period (see also sections 8 and 9),

(d) any amount that would otherwise be brought into account under section 301 of CTA 2010 (effect of repayment of petroleum revenue tax) in calculating the amount of the profits or loss of any ring fence trade of the company for the period is left out of account so far as the amount is referable to the decommissioning part of an allowable loss, and

(e) no account is to be taken of any provision of Part 4, 5 or 5A of CTA 2010 (loss relief, group relief and group relief for carried forward losses) or of sections 303A to 303D of that Act (use of non-decommissioning losses of ring fence trades).

(6) For the purposes of subsection (5)(d) an amount of petroleum revenue tax which is repaid as mentioned in section 301(1) of CTA 2010 is referable to the decommissioning part of an allowable loss so far the allowable loss giving rise to the repayment is attributable, on a just and reasonable basis, to expenditure allowable under section 3(1)(i) or (j) of OTA 1975.

(7) In this Act any reference to the qualifying levy profits or loss of a company for an accounting period are to the levy profits or loss for the period as determined in accordance with subsections (4) and (5) .

(8) If a company makes a qualifying levy loss for an accounting period, relief may be available for some or all of the loss in accordance with—

(a) Part 1 of Schedule 1 (carry back or forward of qualifying levy losses), or

(b) Part 2 of that Schedule (group relief for qualifying levy losses).

(9) In accordance with section 11, the charging of the levy as if it were an amount of corporation tax is to be taken as applying all enactments applying generally to corporation tax.

Relief for investment expenditure

2 Additional expenditure treated as incurred for purposes of section 1

(1) This section applies for the purposes of section 1 if, in a qualifying accounting period, a company has incurred investment expenditure.

(2) Expenditure is “investment expenditure” so far as—

(a) it is capital expenditure, operating expenditure or leasing expenditure,

(b) it is incurred for the purposes of oil-related activities,

(c) it is not incurred for disqualifying purposes, and

(d) it does not consist of financing costs or decommissioning costs.

(3) For the purposes of section 1 the company is to be treated as if, in addition to the investment expenditure (“the IE”) incurred by it in the accounting period, it had incurred in that period—

(a) expenditure of an amount equal to 80% of the amount of the IE, in a case where the expenditure is capital expenditure on the de-carbonisation of its upstream petroleum production, and

(b) expenditure of an amount equal to 29% of the amount of the IE, in any other case.

(4) For the purposes of this section, if investment expenditure is incurred partly for the purposes of oil-related activities and partly for other purposes, the expenditure is to be attributed to the oil-related activities on a just and reasonable basis.

(4A) For the purposes of this section, where a company incurs expenditure part of which is capital expenditure on the de-carbonisation of its upstream petroleum production and part of which is not, the expenditure is to be apportioned on a just and reasonable basis.

(5) This section needs to be read with section 6 (which prevents recycling etc of assets to generate relief).

2A Section 2: meaning of expenditure on “de-carbonisation of upstream petroleum production”

(1) Expenditure incurred by a company is expenditure on the “ de-carbonisation of its upstream petroleum production ” for the purposes of section 2 if—

(a) the expenditure is incurred in qualifying circumstances, and

(b) it is incurred on the modification of an asset so that it becomes an alternative energy asset which is to be used for that purpose,

(c) it is incurred on the provision of an asset (such as a cable or substation) where the asset is to be used to make a connection to the electric grid or to an alternative energy asset so that (in either case) the company can use the power generated in its upstream petroleum facilities,

(d) it is incurred for the purpose of reducing or eliminating flaring or venting,

(e) it is incurred for the purpose of capturing greenhouse gasemissions, or

(f) it is incurred for the purpose of monitoring or measuring greenhouse gasemissions (including with a view to detecting leaks of greenhouse gasemissions from the company’s upstream petroleum facilities).

(3) For the purposes of this section an asset is an alternative energy asset if the asset generates or stores power (wholly or mainly) from sources of energy other than fossil fuels.

(4) For the purposes of this section references to a company’s upstream petroleum facilities are to any facility used by the company for the purposes of its oil extraction activities.

(5) In this section—

(b) the company was carrying on the trade in an earlier qualifying accounting period.

(2) The company may make a claim for relief for the loss under this paragraph.

(3) If the company makes a claim, the relief is given by deducting the loss from the company’s qualifying levy profits of previous qualifying accounting periods so far as they fall (wholly or partly) within the period of 12 months ending immediately before the loss-making period begins.

(4) The amount of a deduction to be made under sub-paragraph (3) for any accounting period is the amount of the loss so far as it cannot be deducted under that sub-paragraph for a subsequent accounting period.

(a) within the period of two years after the end of the loss-making period, or

(b) within such further period as an officer of Revenue and Customs may allow.

(2) The amount of the deduction for the loss for the accounting period is not to exceed an amount equal to the overlapping proportion of the company’s qualifying levy profits of that period.
