Oil Taxation Pressures Industry as Government Cash Cow
As a special target for taxation the oil industry has become the golden egg for government revenues. In the Southern U S oil fields production is taxed so heavily that oil bears 42.4 percent of all state and local taxes while constituting only 19 percent of taxable property value in 36 Texas counties with intensive development. In 22 large oil states ad valorem taxes on oil range from 0 to 96 percent of total taxes, and some fields face sales taxes exceeding retail value. The burden risks provoking backlash and is seen as unfair to single out one industry for such taxes.
