Fair and Competitive Fiscal Regimes
Financial revenues are one of the most important benefits a country receives for the extraction of its non-renewable natural resources. A deal that is equitable for both the country and the investor will be more durable than one that is too generous to either side. Knowing what constitutes a fair deal is, however, an enormously difficult task, and even once the terms are agreed upon, designing a fiscal regime that will achieve the anticipated sharing of benefits over a long-term, volatile, and inherently unpredictable investment life cycle is immensely complex.
CCSI’s Relevant Work
CCSI’s research on the design and implementation of fiscal regimes strives to find legal and fiscal elements that can help avoid unanticipated consequences or disputes between the investor and the government over the course of the investment.
CCSI also advises governments and civil society organizations on various issues relating to fiscal frameworks for the extractives sector.
