Graduated Oil Tax Bill Proposed by Texas Senator
A proposed amendment to the gross production tax bill outlines a graduated levy on crude oil based on daily production per well. Sponsored by Joe Burkett, it seeks to conserve resources and bolster state revenue, requiring quarterly production reports to the comptroller and imposing tax rates from 1 to 5 cents per barrel across production tiers. The sponsors claim it levels the field for all operators and encourages conservation.
