Country Financial Analysis

The statutory petroleum income tax rate in Brunei is 55%. 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. The tax paid and accrued in 2020 is in relation to one of the operating companies which is in a profitable position. Another operating company made losses from exploration activities, resulting in an overall loss position.

Production-sharing contracts or concessions
A production-sharing contract (PSC) is a contractual arrangement between the holders of a resource, typically a country’s government, and a resource extraction company concerning how much oil or gas each party would receive. The company bears the mineral and financial risk of the initiative. It explores, develops and, if successful, manages production. Costs are recovered through the sales of oil or gas and what is left over is split depending on the terms of the contract.
