Shell's footprint

Shell has been active in Trinidad and Tobago since 1913. Shell has exploration and production activities through operated and non-operated ventures, as well as natural gas pipelines and liquefied natural gas facilities. In 2022, as part of a consortium, Shell and its partners took a final investment decision to build the first utility-scale solar power plant in Trinidad and Tobago.

Country financial analysis

The statutory corporate income tax rate in Trinidad and Tobago is 30%. The rate under the separate tax regime for companies with petroleum operations is 55%. In Trinidad and Tobago, tax filings for companies operating under a production-sharing contract (PSC) are assessed according to the individual legal entity and asset block. In general, losses in one PSC may not be offset against profits elsewhere. Tax paid and accrued in 2022 is the result of profits made by most of our existing production assets. The increase in revenues is attributable to higher oil and gas prices as well as delivery of first gas in Block 22 and NCMA-4 in March 2022. Our Payments to Governments Report for 2022 shows that Shell paid around $873.7 million in production entitlements, royalties, bonuses and fees.
