Country Financial Analysis
The statutory corporate income tax rate in Bolivia is 25%.
The revenues for 2020 were earned from sales to the Bolivian national oil company, Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos. Shell in Bolivia made a loss before tax as a result of writing off costs related to the exploration of the Huacareta Block and therefore no corporate income tax payments were due in 2020.
Our Payments to Governments Report for 2020 shows that Shell paid around $1.6 million in fees.
