昆士蘭州政府:支持實行能源利得稅政策 前提是企業(yè)有足夠的利潤
昆士蘭州政府和昆士蘭州資源委員會(Queensland Resources Council)13日共同對外宣布將支持澳大利亞聯(lián)邦政府提出的能源利得稅政策,但前提是企業(yè)有足夠的利潤來上交稅款。
昆士蘭州州長布萊(Anna Bligh)
昆士蘭州位于澳大利亞西南部,就能源利得稅的收繳面臨著很多問題,但是昆士蘭州的政府態(tài)度十分明確,由于煤層氣和液化天然氣開發(fā)的最終投資問題還沒有解決,現(xiàn)在收取能源利得稅還有一定困難。
昆士蘭州州長布萊(Anna Bligh)表示將使用強制手段收取能源利得稅。
世界能源金融研究院執(zhí)行院長何世紅認為:“澳大利亞聯(lián)邦政府提出的能源利得稅提議無非是想通過稅收手段來調控能源市場。鑒于昆士蘭州的煤層氣項目還處于前期建設階段,稅收工作將面臨一些困難。”
Queensland calls for CBM tax rejig
13 May 2010 14:36 GMT
The Queensland state government and the Queensland Resources Council (QRC) said they would support the Australian federal government's proposed resources super profits tax (RSPT) - but only if the significant amendments are made.
The Queensland, South Australian and Western Australian state governments all have significant problems with the RSPT, but Queensland's issues are especially acute - a raft of coalbed methan (CBM) to liquefied natural gas developments are on the table, with final investment decisions looming.
Queensland's Premier Anna Bligh told the QRC she would use "forceful diplomacy" to get amendments to the tax.
The QRC meantime has written to Australian Labor Party (ALP) members - Bligh's party - offering to brief them further on objections to to the tax.
