Professional speaking & education
An educational overview of oil and gas investment structures, tax questions and the risks that should lead the conversation.
Oil and gas tax treatment depends on the ownership structure, activities and taxpayer. Intangible drilling costs and depletion are specialized areas with eligibility and limitation rules. A potential deduction does not eliminate economic risk or establish that losses can offset every type of income.
Designed for CPA firms and associations, tax attorneys, real estate and business brokers, qualified intermediaries and financial professionals. Available as a conference session, lunch-and-learn, webinar, panel or firm training. Scope, level and duration are agreed with your organizer.
