Country Financial Analysis
In Trinidad and Tobago, tax filings for production sharing contracts (PSCs) are assessed individually by legal entity or asset. This means that losses in one PSC may not be offset against profits arising elsewhere. Overall, Trinidad and Tobago reported a loss for accounting purposes but some individual assets were in production. As a result, $21 million of corporate income tax was accrued on these profits.
Our Payments to Governments Report for 2018 also shows that Shell paid around $97.2 million for production entitlements, royalties and fees.
