  • An Overview of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021

    An Overview of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021

    Introduction

    The Petroleum Industry Act was signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, August 16, 2021 after series of amendments and dialogues which spanned about 20 years from the time it was first introduced. The Act provides legal, governance, regulatory and fiscal framework for the Nigerian petroleum industry as well as the development of host communities.

    Overview
    • Establishment of the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission

    The Commission is saddled with the responsibility of regulating technical, operational and commercial activities in the upstream petroleum sector; monitor compliance with rules regulating the sector; enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of leases, licences, permits and authorisations granted to companies in the upstream petroleum sector; establish and enforce standards relating to upstream petroleum activities and undertake evaluation of national reserves while developing policies for prudent reservoir management practices.

    Furthermore, the Commission is mandated to keep public registers detailing beneficial ownership of leases, licences, permits and authorisations issued by it. It is also to develop, maintain and publish a database of upstream petroleum and advise the Minister of Petroleum on all matters relating to upstream petroleum activities.

    • Establishment of the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority

    This body is responsible for the technical and commercial regulation of midstream and downstream petroleum operations. This involves ensuring efficient and effective infrastructural development, compliance with regulations, implementation of government policies, development of a framework on tariff and pricing, amongst others.

    • The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited

    Part V, Chapter 1 of the Act provides for the administration of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited which is to be incorporated with the Corporate Affairs Commission within 6 (six) months of the commencement of the Act with the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Petroleum Incorporated as shareholders. The assets, interests and liabilities of NNPC are to be transferred to NNPC Ltd or its subsidiaries within 18 months of commencement of the Act after which NNPC shall cease to exist.

    • Establishment of Incorporated Joint Venture Companies

    The Act permits NNPC Ltd and parties with joint operating agreements in the upstream petroleum sector to voluntarily incorporate joint venture limited liability companies subject to the provisions of the Second Schedule to the Act.

    • Introduction of New Licences and Lease for Upstream Operations

    The Act introduces the following licences and lease:

    1. Petroleum exploration licence to carry out petroleum exploration on a non-exclusive basis
    2. Petroleum prospecting licence to carry out petroleum exploration on a non-exclusive basis and drill wells, do corresponding test production on an exclusive basis
    3. Petroleum mining lease to carry out petroleum exploration on a non-exclusive basis; drill wells, carry out test production, win, work and dispose of crude oil, condensates and natural gas on an exclusive basis.

    In the same vein, the Act further restricts the duration of a petroleum prospecting licence for onshore and shallow water acreages to 6 (six) years while that of deep offshore and frontier acreages is limited to 10 (ten) years. The duration for a petroleum mining lease is a maximum of 20 years and it may be extended for further terms of not more than 20 years per renewal.

    • Provision for Host Communities Development

    In order to allay the longstanding grievances of host communities, the Act dedicates Chapter 3 to their development. It provides for the incorporation of a host communities development trust [section 235(1)] to manage and supervise the administration of the annual contribution of holders of a lease or licence (settlor). A settlor is mandated to contribute 3% of its actual annual operating expenditure of the preceding financial year in the upstream petroleum operations to the fund.

    • Provision for Payment of Hydrocarbon Tax (HT) and Companies Income Tax (CIT)

    The Act is clear that companies engaged in petroleum operations whether upstream, midstream or downstream are to be subject to companies’ income tax at the rates provided under CITA. In addition to the CIT, companies in the upstream petroleum sector are chargeable to hydrocarbon tax which applies to crude oil, field condensates, liquid natural gas derived from associated gas and produced in the upstream field. However, it is important to note that HT does not apply to deep offshore as well as natural gas operations.

    HT is payable at the rate of 15% of profit from crude oil for onshore and shallow water and for petroleum prospecting licences (PPL) while the rate is 30% of the profit from crude oil for petroleum mining leases (PML) with respect to onshore and shallow water areas.

    Also, allowable expenses for the purposes of calculating HT must be directly related to the production operations. The non-direct costs will, however, be deductible under CIT.

    • Requirement for the Separation of Upstream, Midstream and Downstream Operations

    For tax purposes, the Act requires that a company intending to be involved in more than one stream of petroleum operation should register a separate company for each. It further provides an option for the establishment of an Integrated Strategic Project (ISP) for companies in the upstream petroleum sector which seek to produce oil or gas and refine it for wholesale supply subject to the provisions of section 302(4) of the Act.

    • Other Fiscal Provisions

    Companies engaged in midstream petroleum operations, downstream gas operations, large scale gas utilisation as well as investors in gas pipelines are entitled to incentives under section 39 of CITA which include a tax-free period of 3 years and accelerated capital allowance after the tax-free period among others.

    Natural gas transferred from the upstream to the midstream or downstream as well as natural gas liquids and liquid petroleum gases are chargeable to tax under CITA.

    Section 302(9) provides that “acquisition costs of petroleum rights shall be eligible for annual allowance at the rate of 20% with a retention value of 1% in the last year until the asset is disposed.”

    CONCLUSION

    The enactment of the Petroleum Industry Act is a welcome development in the country’s legal and regulatory space especially with respect to the petroleum industry which is the mainstay of our economy. While it is hoped that the provisions of the Act will bring about growth in the petroleum sector, it is recommended that the government should begin to shift its focus towards transitioning to clean energy for the purpose of sustainable development.

  • Rivers State, FIRS and Value Added Tax (VAT)

    Rivers State, FIRS and Value Added Tax (VAT)

    On 9 August 2021, the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt division, issued a very controversial ruling on Value Added Tax (VAT). In a case of the Attorney General of Rivers State vs Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and Attorney General of the Federation (Suit no. FHC/PH/CS/149/2020), the Court declared the VAT Act unconstitutional and transferred the power to collect VAT in Rivers State from the FIRS to Rivers State.

    The FIRS has since appealed this ruling at a higher court, while insisting that taxpayers in Rivers State should continue to pay VAT to the FIRS.

    In the meantime, Rivers State has, on 19 August 2021, signed into law, the Rivers State Value Added Tax Act which provides for the imposition and administration of VAT in Rivers State. The Rivers State VAT law imposes VAT at 7.5% on the supply of taxable goods and services except those exempted under the schedule to the Law.

    The Rivers State Internal Revenue Service (RSIRS) is empowered by the law to administer, implement, assess, collect and account for money collected.

    Other important provisions of the Rivers State VAT Act includes:

    • A taxable person under the law is required to register with the Board within 6 months of the commencement of the Law or 6 months of commencement of business, whichever is earlier.
    • Registration for VAT under the law is a condition for obtaining a contract from a government ministry, agency or statutory body.
    • A non-resident company that carries on business within the State is to register for the tax with the Board, using the address of the person with whom it has a subsisting contract. The non-resident company is to include the tax in its invoice while remittance is to be made by the person to whom the goods or services are supplied in the State, in the currency of the transaction.
    • Refusal to register for the tax within the time specified is a punishable offence.
    • The law mandates payment of the tax on taxable imported goods before they are cleared.
    • Where a person disagrees with the amount assessed, he may object to the RSIRS.
    • Tax is to be remitted on or before the 21st day of the following month.
    • There is no exemption for small and medium enterprises with turnover of less than N25 million.
    • The State government shall receive 70% of the revenues from the tax, while 30% would go to the local governments.
    • The Schedule to the law exempts the following goods and services from VAT:

    i. All medical and pharmaceutical products

    ii. Basic food items

    iii. Books and educational materials

    iv. Baby products

    v. Fertilizers, locally produced agricultural and veterinary medicine, farming machinery and farming transportation equipment.

    vi. All exports

    vii. Plant, machinery and equipment purchased for the utilisation of gas in the downstream petroleum operations.

    viii. Tractors, ploughs and agricultural equipment and implements purchased for agricultural purposes.

    ix. Medical services.

    x. Services rendered by the community banks, Microfinance banks and mortgage institutions.

    xi. Plays and performances conducted by educational institutions as part of learning.

    xii. All exported services.

    As of 20 August 2021, Rivers State government had, further to issuing the new VAT law, begun issuing official demand letters to businesses operating in Rivers State, demanding that they remit all VAT due, for August 2021, to the designated Rivers State VAT collection account.

    As it is, taxpayers in Rivers State are caught in dilemma between the two Regulators. No one knows for sure the ultimate verdict until the case is ruled by the Supreme Court. In the meantime, failure to file / remit VAT returns to any of the two authorities may result in two-fold accrual of penalties and interest for Rivers State taxpayers, since the Federal VAT law is still effective and has not been cancelled or revoked by any legislative action.

    Affected taxpayers may find that a very strategic way to mitigate VAT risks in this controversial circumstance may be to commence filing NIL tax returns to both tax authorities until the issue is resolved by the Supreme Court or by the Federal Law makers.

  • FIRS ISSUES PUBLIC NOTICE ON THE CLARIFICATION ON PAYMENT IN INSTALMENTS BY SELF ASSESSMENT FILERS AS APPROVED BY THE FINANCE ACT, 2019

    FIRS ISSUES PUBLIC NOTICE ON THE CLARIFICATION ON PAYMENT IN INSTALMENTS BY SELF ASSESSMENT FILERS AS APPROVED BY THE FINANCE ACT, 2019

    “(5) Every Company shall make payment of tax due on or before the due date of filing in one lump sum or in instalments, provided that: where the taxpayer pays in instalments –

    • The taxpayer shall first write, with evidence of payment of the first instalment, and obtain the approval of the service to pay in such number of instalments as may be approved by the service; and
    • The final instalment must be paid on or before the due date of filing.”

    (5b) Any balance of taxes unpaid as at the due date shall attract interest and penalties as provided in the Act or any other relevant law for failure to pay on the due date in accordance.”

    The notice according to the FIRS, elucidates on the section above stating that “Any Company that wishes to pay by instalments must have applied in writing, before the due date of filing, attaching evidence of full payment of Tertiary Education Tax (TEDT) and first instalment of the Companies Income Tax (CIT) due.
