Letter of the Federal Tax Service No. MM-6-21/1123@ of November 17, 2006 on the Calculation of the Rate of the Tax on Extraction of Mineral Resources for October 2006
In pursuance of the Federal Law No. 126-FZ of August 8, 2001, in the period from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006, the rate of the tax on extraction of mineral resources for oil amounts to Rbl 419 per ton and is applied with a coefficient characterising the dynamics of the world prices for oil - Kp.
The Letter provides information necessary for the calculation of the amount of tax by the taxpayer for October 2006.
Thus, with the average level of prices for the Urals oil of USD 54.65 a barrel and the average US dollar rate to the rouble for all days of the tax period of 26.8559, the Kp value is defined as 4.6972.
Taking this coefficient into account, the rate of the tax on extraction of mineral resources for oil has decreased nearly Rbl 158 as compared to the previous tax period to make Rbl 1968.1268 per ton.
