Recommendation 7
7
Commit to urgent publication and early implementation of the new North Sea fiscal regime.
Recommendation
In its response to this report, the Government should commit to a publication date for the outcome of its consultation on the new fiscal regime. To provide much-needed clarity and confidence to the sector, the successor regime should be brought into effect as soon as possible, rather than replacing the Energy Profits Levy from 2030. (Recommendation, Paragraph 67)
