昆士兰州政府:支持实行能源利得税政策 前提是企业有足够的利润
昆士兰州政府和昆士兰州资源委员会(Queensland Resources Council)13日共同对外宣布将支持澳大利亚联邦政府提出的能源利得税政策,但前提是企业有足够的利润来上交税款。
昆士兰州州长布莱(Anna Bligh)
昆士兰州位于澳大利亚西南部,就能源利得税的收缴面临着很多问题,但是昆士兰州的政府态度十分明确,由于煤层气和液化天然气开发的最终投资问题还没有解决,现在收取能源利得税还有一定困难。
昆士兰州州长布莱(Anna Bligh)表示将使用强制手段收取能源利得税。
世界能源金融研究院执行院长何世红认为:“澳大利亚联邦政府提出的能源利得税提议无非是想通过税收手段来调控能源市场。鉴于昆士兰州的煤层气项目还处于前期建设阶段,税收工作将面临一些困难。”
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.
