| description | In South Africa, oil and gas companies are subject to the ordinary tax rules within the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 ("the Act"), but enjoy certain tax concessions within the Tenth Schedule to the Act. The main reason for introducing the Tenth Schedule was to create certainty and transparency for oil and gas exploration and production with the aim to secure foreign investment (National Treasury, 2006:15). Considering the growth potential of South Africa's oil and gas industry and the fact that the Tenth Schedule was introduced to create certainty and transparency in the hopes of securing foreign investment, this dissertation evaluates whether the Tenth Schedule achieves its aim of providing certainty and transparency in order to attract and retain foreign investment in the oil and gas industry. Furthermore, this dissertation identifies issues and uncertainties found within the Tenth Schedule which could hinder such foreign investment. Finally, as countries are in competition with one another to attract foreign investment, this dissertation evaluates how the incentives provided by the Tenth Schedule compare to the incentives provided by Ghana's oil and gas tax regime. |
