Economic aspects related to the harmonization of regulatory legal acts in subsoil use

DOI: 10.33917/mic-4.123.2025.78-83

When adopting certain regulatory legal acts in subsoil use, specialists of legislative and executive authorities do not think about the need to coordinate innovations with the accompanying provisions of other legislative acts. The article, using the example of individual areas of the adopted strategic goals and objectives established in the Strategy for the Development of the Mineral Resource Base of the Russian Federation until 2050, examines issues of harmonization of legislation with an assessment of lost profits from the lack of synchronization of regulatory legal acts in subsoil use.

Development of a rent approach to taxation of hydrocarbon production

DOI: 10.33917/mic-2.115.2024.75-80

The formation of revenues of the country’s consolidated budget largely depends on the receipt of taxes from subsoil use, where the mineral extraction tax plays a decisive role. Due to the strengthening of its fiscal role, the tax is losing its regulatory significance for the rational use of subsoil. The article examines the tax regulation of the use of hydrocarbon reserves based on a methodological approach to assessing their value and the mechanism for calculating the per-ton rate of reserve redemption. By establishing per-ton reserve redemption rates for newly commissioned hydrocarbon fields, the state acquires a stable source of income and an effective mechanism for monitoring the rational use of subsoil.
