This is a reporting requirements and severance tax case involving a multinational energy company in Pennsylvania. Allegedly, the company had manipulated their royalty payments by overcharging on post-production expenses, reducing the amount of royalties they needed to pay. The company was also accused of failing to use the reasonable market value for their gas, affecting their royalty payments even further. Facing uncertainty over the company’s taxes and profits, an accountant experienced in oil and gas accounting was called in to look into severance tax records to comment on the case.
