挪威 Parliament Grants More Tax Relief to Oil Companies
挪威's parliament has agreed to give additional tax breaks to the oil industry on top of those proposed by the minority government in a bid to spur investment and protect jobs, the ruling Conservative Party said on Monday.
Equinor和其他石油公司在COVID-19大流行期间需求低迷的情况下受到原油价格低迷的打击,他们称政府推迟1000亿挪威克朗(108亿美元)的纳税额的计划是不够的。
保守党总理埃尔娜·索尔伯格(Erna Solberg)警告说,不要给出更为慷慨的条款,认为这可能导致投资无法产生足够的回报,但最终由于反对派压力和行业游说而屈服。
谈判代表说,议会商定的条件将暂时使大部分收入免税,从而使其更有利可图的投资,从而有可能挽救石油公司以及建造平台和其他设备的院子的工作。
挪威 is western Europe's biggest oil and natural gas producer, representing about 2% of global crude output.
