November 30, 18.55, Consulting Director of the state regulation sector of fuel and energy companies at VYGON Consulting and FinU alumnus Daria Kozlova will be giving an online lecture at the Faculty of Economics and Business.
The topic of the lecture is "Oil Tax Regulation: How to Balance Budget and Investment Requirements in the Industry?".
The online lecture will be held within the framework of the FinU curriculum for junior and senior year students as well as graduate students of the Faculty of Economics and Business (concentration "Economics and Finance of the Fuel and Energy Sector").
Russia’s oil industry has always been a key source of revenue for the country’s budget, raising about 9 trillion rubles or 44% from the income of enterprises in 2019. In addition to state revenues, however, it accounts for more than 3 trillion rubles or 18% of the total fixed capital investment in the country. Therefore, the history of taxation has been constantly transformed in order to strike the right balance between the interests of the state and the investor. Over the past 20 years, the tax code has been amended more than 30 times. So, is this balance possible at all? What is the "fair" rent-seeking behaviour? How does OPEC+ impact the oil industry? How much oil is to be processed? In fact, how long will oil be in demand?
