North Dakota Tax Policy?
Desired change: 9% “off ramp” -from extraction tax- in lieu of price triggers
-retain gross production rate
-increase investment in ND
-increase tax revenues (more production)
-Bakken more economic; not “millionaire” oil wells
North Dakota Tax Policy cont.
Makes ND more competitive (MT-0%-9%)Improves Revenue ForecastingMoves toward flat, more simplified tax systemImproves business climate-for long range planning
