liquefied natural gas export

Royalty Legislation Amendment Bill 2020

This bill overhauls how Queensland calculates petroleum royalties, replacing the old 'wellhead value' system with a simpler volume-based model that applies different rates depending on whether gas is sold domestically, supplied to LNG projects, produced as part of an LNG project, or is liquid petroleum. It also brings mineral and petroleum royalty administration under the Taxation Administration Act 2001 for consistency with state taxes.
