A gas tax holiday talks about 18.4¢ while ignoring the $1.50 problem. That's politics, not policy. And half of it likely goes straight to oil company profits. Congress knows this. Some just hope you don't.

The taxation regime of gas and oil exploration in this country is not understood which has led to an enormous amount of misinformation. Here are the facts: 1. Oil and gas companies pay 30 cents tax on their profits just like every other company in Australia. That means that Australians already have 30% ownership. 2. Oil and gas companies pay a super profit tax on their profits known as the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. The PRRT has collected very little revenue to date for two reasons a) there has been an enormous amount of capital invested in getting these projects up resulting in large depreciation offsets and b) the gas was foolishly sold forward at very cheap prices when the projects were given the go ahead. A lot of these contracts will roll off over the next decade resulting in larger profits and a larger tax for taxpayers. 3. 70-80% of gas and oil exploration in Australia is unsuccessful. Offshore gas exploration is not a multi million dollar business- it’s a multi billion dollar business. The idea that taxpayers should fund 30% of offshore oil and gas exploration is absurd. The last person to come up with that idea was Gough Whitlam. Needless to say no banks would lend against such a proposition. has always had a policy to abolish the PRRT and replace it with a 5-10% royalty on Sales. Combined with the 30% company tax that will guarantee that Australians share in over 40% of the profits of any offshore oil and gas project. That’s an excellent return given taxpayers incur no risk. I’ve done up a table in comments showing the share Australians will receive based on operating profit margin before tax. David Pocock, the Greens and One Nation are all wrong on this. The formers 25% export tax will wipe out most of the profits made eliminating the incentive to further explore for gas. One Nation offering to fund 30% of exploration costs for mostly foreign owned companies will expose taxpayers to billions of dollars in subsidies with no guarantee of return. Australia desperately needs sensible economic reform. Unfortunately none of the parties in Canberra have a clue how to make this happen.

Elon Musk: The oil and gas industry has been receiving subsidies for decades. It's time to end them. “The right course of action is actually just the reasonable course of action which is to lean in the direction of sustainable energy and lean in the direction of a sort of a solar battery future and generally have the rules of the system lean in that direction. I don't think we need massive subsidies, but then we also shouldn't have massive subsidies for the oil and gas industry. The oil and gas industry has massive tax write offs that they don't even think of as subsidies because these things have been in place for in some cases 80 years, but they're not there for other industries. So when you've got special tax conditions that are in one industry and not another industry, I call that a subsidy. Obviously it is. But they've taken it for granted for so long in oil and gas that they don't think of it as a subsidy. So, the right course of action of course is to remove, in my opinion, subsidies from all industries. But the political reality is that the oil and gas industry is very strong in the Republican party, but not in the Democratic party. So you will not see, obviously, even the tiniest subsidy being removed from the oil, gas and coal industry. In fact, there were some that were added to the oil, gas, and coal industry in the sort of Big Bill. And there were a massive number of sustainable energy incentives that were removed, some of which I agreed with, by the way. Some of the incentives have gone too far.” All-In Podcast, October 31, 2025

All tax evasion should be called out. Following up on yesterday’s post in regard to the taxation of offshore Oil and Gas companies it was pointed out that Oil and Gas companies can shift their profits offshore to avoid tax in Australia. That’s 100% correct, but it’s not isolated to just Oil and Gas companies. Offshore profit shifting is rampant amongst all multinationals. Why don’t the Greens or David Pocock have a 25% export tax on all profits sent offshore? Why can Pfizer, Meta etc send billions of dollars offshore to avoid paying tax here in Australia? Why can Australian companies especially banks, offshore jobs to India and the Philippines without paying any withholding tax. Why don’t renewable companies, 70% owned by foreigners have to pay a royalty on our sunlight and water? is the only party to have a policy on profit shifting and is the only party to have consistently raised these issues in estimates and the Senate. We will raise the withholding tax rate on profits transferred to treaty countries to 25% and on interest income paid to all countries to 30%. This will prevent capital from leaving Australia and ensure that profits generated domestically contribute to our economy, rather than being funnelled offshore. Additionally, an operating profit ratio test will be introduced to further strengthen transfer pricing rules and prevent the leakage of profits abroad. If you’re going to call out one industry for tax evasion then call out all companies. Otherwise you’re just demonising the industries you’re trying to destroy.
