2012 Uniform Valuation of Oil and Gas Deposits
The Ohio Department of Taxation has released their 2012 uniform formula for the valuation of oil and gas deposits in Ohio. In 2005, House Bill 66 exempted producers from the tangible personal property tax. Since then, OOGA, the Department of Taxation and state legislators have worked to find a fair and equitable formula to replace this tax. Per 2006′s budget bill (HB 699), this new formula was codified for the valuation of these reserves.
The formula for 2012 is as follows:
Crude Oil (All Grades) |
Taxable Value |
Change from 2011 |
| Average Daily Production | ||
| (One barrel or more) | $5,120 per barrel | $480 more |
| Average Daily Production | ||
| (Less than 1 barrel) | $3,070 per barrel | $290 more |
Natural Gas |
Taxable Value |
Change from 2011 |
| Average Daily Production | ||
| (More than 8 MCF) | $410 per MCF | $40 less |
| Average Daily Production | ||
| (Less than 8 MCF) | $205 per MCF | $20 less |
