Depletion Tax Allowance Increase Is Advocated
A top spokesman for the petroleum industry urged raising the 27 3/4 percent depletion tax allowance for oil and gas, arguing the rate ignores underground reserves value. Atlantic Richfield’s Robert Anderson and Gulf Oil’s E D Brockett Jr joined Sun Oil’s Robert Dunlop in saying higher relief is essential to meet rising fuel demand and offset inflationary costs.
