Foreign Tax Credits For Oil & Gas Companies
Under new IRS Regulations, the rules for oil and gas companies to pay taxes on overseas income were tightened as of 2009. The new Regulations eliminate the distinction between foreign oil and gas extraction income (FOGEI) and foreign oil-related income from transportation and refining and the new Regulations apply the FOGEI foreign tax credit limitation under IRS Code Sec. 907 to income from oil and gas production and sales.
