Energy and Resources Working Group
What the Energy and Resources Working Group does, contact details, members and key messages from meetings.
On this page
The Energy and Resources Working Group comprises representatives from tax professional bodies, resource industry associations and the ATO. The working group consults on issues relating to:
- income tax
- resource rent taxes (petroleum resource rent tax and the now-repealed minerals resource rent tax)
- other taxes as they directly impact on the energy and resources sector
- general administration issues affecting the mining and petroleum industries.
The meetings also provide an opportunity to identify, discuss and jointly resolve significant technical and administrative issues, including potential ways to reduce compliance costs prior to the lodgment of returns, or the commencement of review activity. This provides taxpayers with enhanced certainty regarding lodgments and positions adopted prior to transactions occurring.
