English term or phrase: severance tax
Definition from VentureLine:
Severance tax is a tax levied on production of natural resources taken from land or water bottoms within the territorial boundaries of a state.

Example sentence(s):
  • States often favor severance taxes over alternative sources of government revenue because much of the severance tax burden is transferred out of the state. ‘Exporting’ the tax burden is achieved, for example, if a relatively small portion of the oil pumped from an oil-abundant state is used in that state or if out-of-state companies own oil production. The University of Utah
  • A severance tax can provide local jurisdictions with additional revenues to finance economic development, yet the imposition of a tax may create coal industry employment losses. ScientificCommons
  • The change in severance tax cannot, of course, take place in isolation. It should be carried out in conjunction with the other elements of the tax system, i.e. export duties and excise taxes. OIL OF RUSSIA

Förderabgabe


Definition from Comoil:
Förderabgaben und Förderzinsen werden von den Unternehmen für das Recht gezahlt, Bodenschätze wie z. B. Erdöl und Erdgas zu fördern. Empfänger dieses Entgelts sind Staaten und Länder, aber auch private Grundeigentümer.

Example sentence(s):
  • Der Inhaber einer Bewilligung hat jährlich für die innerhalb des jeweiligen Jahres aus dem Bewilligungsfeld gewonnenen oder mitgewonnenen bergfreien Bodenschätze eine Förderabgabe zu entrichten. Gleiches gilt für den Bergwerkseigentümer. Eine Förderabgabe ist nicht zu entrichten, soweit die Bodenschätze ausschließlich aus gewinnungstechnischen Gründen gewonnen und nicht wirtschaftlich verwertet werden. Satz 3 gilt nicht für die Errichtung eines Untergrundspeichers. - Bundesberggesetz
