Tax implications for the Guyana oil & gas sector - Grant Thornton Guyana

For companies operating in Guyana's oil & gas sector, several laws are applicable, including the Maritime Zones Act, Petroleum Acts, and various tax-related laws. This memo focuses on the relevant taxes such as corporation tax, capital gains tax, withholding taxes, VAT, income tax (PAYE), and property tax. Entities in petroleum activities are typically taxed at a 25% corporation tax rate. Contractors and subcontractors are subject to the same rate. Petroleum companies operate under laws such as the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act, and are regulated by the Guyana Revenue Authority (GRA). Special tax provisions may apply under petroleum agreements.
